DEDICATION. 

Through the generous and kind help of my late de- 
ceased friend. John Cooper Martin, of Conshohocken, 
Penna., I have been enabled to produce these writings 
and prepare them for publication. Even though he 
himself was struggling with conditions to acquire the 
ueeds of earth, yet has he with all financial and mind- 
power been ready to aid me. At the eleventh hour, 
near the completion of our task of presenting our 
thoughts to mankind, he has been called into the 
beyond. 

May this work and our effort of clearing the subject 
of life as far as it lays in our power, stand as a memo- 
rative monument to this, my generous friend, who him- 
self limited in means, yet was ever willing to aid every 
worthy cause. 

Every reader who has earthly power or means may 
take this lesson to heart, which is: wherever a worthy 
spiritual or life-cause is seen by them, to aid it the best 
way they can; as this is eternal seed that can be found 
upon their life's realm, and if not cultivated into a 
blooming and prosperous state will their life prove to 
be a spiritual failure without conscious growth, harmony 
and peace. With humble gratitude does the author 
offer his work to the memory of his generous friend, 
John Cooper Martin. 

January, 1904. 



PREFACE. 

That Creation's natural operative principles equal to 
express and uphold man and the All, and that they have 
anything to do with individual man, viz. — that these 
principles are to, and in man as spirit, is, not ouly not 
realized, but mind has in its desire for things material 
(which can be handled commonly) bred and grown the 
mental elements in the conscious center to be more sus- 
ceptible to the influences received through the channels 
of physical impressibilities upon the conscious center 
(towards the world) than those of mental or spiritual 
impressibility (toward Wisdom, which brings it — the 
Father) thereupon, and thereby, establishing the limit 
to God's possibility in the mind. 

Mind will forever be vague until it turns to its center 
and looks Creation's plan in All, in the full circumfer- 
ence of meaning. Man needs meanings, clear and ab- 
solute. 

Nature's wisdom found the only way to evolve hu- 
man mind was, to give it free will, which (surely mind 
is sufficiently interesting to be investigated as mind) 
when the desire (to know the life) is one befitting the 
occasion which eternal "Wisdom, in its supremacy, re- 
quests from us then, that wisdom, promising nothing 
but demonstrating immediately, answers the acted desire 
in the consciously awake mind. 

It is then in the very Wisdom of Nature that individ- 
ual mind has to live in unclearness of its reality until it 



awakes to desire to know Truth equal to realizing the 
Plan Operative in time and space; and that Creation's 
plan is to evolve human mind equal to realize itself as 
an individual reality, and thence to the modus operandi 
of creation as the way of truth. 

The Publisher has, since connecting to the meanings 
of the thoughts herein, experienced guiding natural 
truths; realized mind — spirit, in its reality, and its con- 
nection to Wisdom in Nature, its Father. 

A principal object in this book, in the particular char- 
acter of itself is, to bring to the attention of minds 
desiring to know truth, the book's predecessor: "The 
Fundament of All Teaching," by Julius Kuhn — the 
subject matter of which is found on last pages hereof. 

Human mind has been so bred toward physical in- 
fluencing realities that, the Father — Wisdom, which 
creatively manifests, is not known of as a Reality; but 
as a word. So far lost sight of have these mind influ- 
encing principles been, that teaching them in the reality 
of themselves has been impossible. A start, however, 
is herewith made, and he who desires properly, to know 
truth, and will seek meanings in Nature instead of 
seeking words and objects, will find eternal life and 
Wisdom. 

History proves that truth has been lived and taught 
by a few leading minds. 

Having herein, revelations of high cosmic Truths 
worthy the consideration of any mind, the reader is 
sincerely requested to investigate properly, the mean- 
ings hidden in the words herein, when, Wisdom in 
Nature and man, will verify thereto.

THE LANGUAGE OF NATURE. 

What language do you speak? Is it only the change- 
able human tongue intelligible to you? Did you ever 
let Creation speak to you strict truth, as is written in 
the real meaning of God's Word, upon the pages of the 
All? That great book of Creation, from Genesis to 
Revelation — it is right before our view ! Sentence 
after sentence, chapter on chapter, book upon book lie 
hidden, compiled, in the layers of time and space. The 
saeredness, the truth of this book is sanctified, not by 
fallible and assumptive men, but by the will of the 
Almighty ! Is there still no other language apparent 
to you? As highly civilized man, have you in your 
color of self-development entirely forgotten to study 
that language which speaks to you internationally, and 
the meaning of which is standing out clear and direct 
from the things that are ? Every sign or word has a 
meaning that brings the reality to your mind, but never 
the sign or word itself. Something that appears to you 
externally you present to your consciousness internally, 
but if you cannot detect the meaning thereof, that lan- 
guage is to you not a language. What does it mean to 
you, if yon are English, when you have the words of 
the grandest German or Erench mind before you, if 
that language is not intelligible to you? It is but a 
conglomeration of signs and dots without meanings. 
Nevertheless, however, life and spiritual reality they 



10 Glimpses Into Nature. 

are, deeply interesting and nourishing your spirit, if 
you can but interpret their signification. The sign, 
written or spoken, is an emblem, and gives us the 
channel of connecting to its spiritual reality or life; 
thus we have language and may enjoy the company of 
man with pleasure and benefit. Occult and materially 
undemonstrable is the meaning, while the mind that 
receives it, hidden from the physical view, is thought 
a nothing — a nonentity ! However, we are so much 
accustomed to imprint our mind with material impres- 
sions or thoughts, as would lead us to think that no 
intelligence is in Creation. Nature cannot speak to us; 
there is no language or anything else of intelligible 
interest for us in nature. This makes us study, read 
and drill words and thoughts of men and women in 
language of human fallible character. "We drown our 
minds; swallow thoughts of writings that intensely ex- 
cite our animal feelings, and sensually nourish our 
being ! Human language and fallibility, fallible books 
and Bibles, selfish, fashionably considered thinkers, 
writers and speakers, are the ones preferred to the silent 
language of Creation. The sound of the voice, the ink 
of the word, the message of the 'phone or telegraph, 
come so much nearer to providing our life and our needs, 
by the human indulgence to our fellow-beings, than the 
above-mentioned Language of Nature. God's "Words, 
Nature's Intentions, the realities that be, and Natural 
Intelligence, operative in and with Creation, are all 
nonsensical and chimerical hallucinations ! 

The more intellectual schooling and drilling spreads, 
the more unnatural, inconsequent, assumptive, selfish, 



The Language of Nature. 11 

ignorant and dark is the horizon of human instinctive 
knowledge, of eminent and guiding truth. Scorned and 
ignored are those who seek the realities of life, which 
are hidden, as life, of mind as mind, spirit as spirit, earth 
as earth, and God as God. Art and human assumption 
have succeeded in drawing a fashionable veil over all 
things which be; and in the limit of human intelligence, 
the child must study, the professor think, the clergyman 
preach, and the law-maker give and adjust human rights. 
The language of mankind we know; but that of Nature 
and her God — so sadly neglected — we need to know 
very much more. Our mind suffers evil from our horri- 
ble ignorance, because we have not found time to study 
God's alphabet and words, and have put misinterpreted 
meanings in their places. Language, human Language, 
is written even on this very paper, but here it is written 
to call us back to where we belong — into nature, into 
the realities that be. God, manifesting operatively, ex- 
presses all things. A meaning is at all times invisible, 
but becomes a reality to us just as soon as we have found 
the key to understand the implanted, unseen verity 
therein. Motion, growth, life and consciousness are in- 
visible, but they become real things to us just so soon 
as we can distinguish inner realities from outer appear- 
ances. There is no more difference between a written 
sentence and its meaning, than there is between a hu- 
man body and the inner contained real man or con- 
sciousness; because to the man more interested in the 
human language than to that of God's realities, the in- 
visible man will be but a mere nothing, scientifically con- 
sidered, while the invisible meaning, or expression of 



12 Glimpses Into Nature. 

a written thought, is a scientific fact, in contrast to 
which the inner man is philosophized out of existence. 
Words and meanings are only rudimentary inducements 
to the mind for the purpose of becoming enabled to dis- 
tinguish the reality from the appearance of the things 
in nature. Man, minus consciousness, is animal. Man 
is not material in his absolute state, and neither does he 
take in anything material. The mineral process of di- 
gestion, and growth of the body (if this is known as 
man) is not the man himself, but only a misunderstand- 
ing and misinterpretation of a material reality. We 
will ' have to look into the dictionary of Creation and 
study the meaning of man therein clearly before we 
will know ourselves. A little distinguishing of mind- 
qualities of a very simple and natural order is needed, 
to know, that a rotation of letters as a sign for a word 
is one thing, that its meaning or mental representation 
of the thing it calls for is another, and whether that 
meaning or mental representation of the thing it calls 
for is representative of the reality — the truth in nature, 
is still another. At the word the mind commences to 
reason, then it steps to the meaning, and thence to the 
natural reality or unreality, of the thing represented by 
that meaning. Such is nature's way of expression. 
Thus stands the problem of the nearest reality to our 
mind, which we are ourselves. It is the letter A in the 
alphabet of Creation. From the appearance of the 
body do we commence to study the meaning of that 
alphabet, and if we cannot see so far as to memorize the 
invisible life therein as real, we can never expect to 
read Nature's Language. Then, when we have the true 



The Language of Nature. 13 

meaning or reality of the man, can we see whether that 
meaning, the life, or the conscious man is, in his mind, 
in a natural state of condition, which would answer that 
meaning to be a true representative of Nature itself? 
Meanings, real interesting thoughts, intelligence and 
wisdom are in and with Creation, but have been silent 
in the language of realities that stand to us. God is 
real, and is speaking absolutely in real meanings — 
meanings that are real beyond a shade of doubt, but we 
must study the language of God, as His language of 
reality, and not as a changeable civilized or uncivilized 
human language. It is of itself showing the true man, 
if he does not expect to hear God with his ears, to see 
Him with his eyes, to write through Him with his pen, 
or in any other method convey thoughts materially, be- 
cause this would destroy all true human reverence for 
Him. We like the man who will not promise but act; 
the more do we know that a Creative Wisdom, axiomati- 
cally, in perfect laws of Creative language, gives all un- 
derstanding of that language to him who silently acts, 
lives and demonstrates the commands of his Father that 
come to his mind as the highest voice of morals, and as 
the inner voice of conscience; but lost is he who thinks 
only of materially limited realities to our human animal 
perception; who studies only the human memorized lan- 
guage, and never takes a reality in the limit in which 
it can be actually demonstrated by Nature. Language 
of Nature ! How far is the human highly cultured 
mind away from it? The tree is here, but no one can 
see the real operative, active force which brings it here. 
The corporeal part of that tree is thought to be the real 



14 Glimpses Into Nature. 

thing, but the operative and shaping force, self-evl- 
dently demonstrated therein, is not known or studied 
because the materialistic scientific veil must limit things 
to an obscure reasonability. It is the alphabet of Crea- 
tion we neglect to study. Mind, men appear to believe, 
comes by itself, and even though it is a purely motory, 
active, natural reality in itself, and must have powers 
of such character as its constituting principle compels, 
yet will no scientist say that the operative wisdom knows 
how to take care of it. Chemistry and physics have 
discovered, beyond all doubt, that all things are kept up 
individually in their own realm of existence: Water as 
water, hydrogen as hydrogen, and oxygen as oxygen, 
but that God's laws will know how to protect the in- 
visible consciousness in its own realm of existence; this, 
it seems, can no one even contemplate. Creation, in all 
things perfect, is only a chaotic mass in the expression 
of conscious minds. That oxygen will not directly en- 
ter into amalgamated water, but remain as such around 
and about the water, if the other elements necessary to 
express water are not there, is known; but that con- 
sciousness, or the spirit out of the body, does not directly 
influence the body and the spiritual mind of man; this 
is regarded credulous to presuppose ! Language of 
Creation must be studied, not in human .defined laws, 
but in the laws wherein God has laid the meanings, and 
whosoever thinks that God is not Creative "Wisdom will 
have to learn something about the immateriality of con- 
sciousness and reality of things in their natural way of 
presentation. God is Wisdom, needed to express, con- 
stitute, form and destine a thing; He is within and

through All, in the very language as it stands before us. 
The words Creative mathematics will, perhaps, come 
nearest to convey such a simple fact to the mind, and 
when Creative mathematics will be known, then man 
will see the folly of selfishly limiting the realities of 
Creation to impressions received by animal senses, such 
eminent realities, which stand as a real perception to 
the conscious faculties. The greatest ignoramuses think- 
able are hidden in the professional employments of life, 
those who are supposed to have the patent-right of 
limiting God's realities. Some of these gentlemen say 
there is no spirit, no consciousness, no God, none but 
physical things are real. These people belong into a 
kindergarten for instruction in the alphabet of Nature. 
As real as vocals and consonants make up the alphabet 
of human speech, will motory-active and immotory 
standstill (material parts of Creation) be necessitated 
to express that which is. Layers of mental realities, 
when spiritually perceived, will be a mass of objective, 
real things in the spiritual realm, as material things are 
in the physical realm. But who is the man unbiased 
enough to acknowledge the realities of life, thoughts, 
things and their natural meanings equally real as bulk, 
form, reality or anything which that meaning may hold ? 
A man would soon be ashamed if in his selfishness he 
could assume that the Creator does not know how _ to 
protect the creature. Debased, low, assumptive, con- 
ceited and blind men, mentally all the time presuppose 
that God does not know how to attend to His business, 
and therefore ask through prayers, infallible books and 
wonder beliefs, how God will save or damn the world. 



16 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The very eminent human professions, instead of want- 
ing to read God's realities, are trying to excommunicate 
all Natural Creative Wisdom, and put themselves in 
place of God's axiomatic Wisdom within us, and within 
Creation. Between earnest investigations of God's 
Words and selfish, assumptive conceitedness there is a 
very wide spiritual gulf, although physically there might 
hardly be any discernible difference, only perhaps, the 
materialistic veil of the mind or the wonder-belief of 
magic-saving charms. As sure as darkness is not light 
and sound is not stillness, motion, force or life is not 
material substance, and vice versa; so also are clear nat- 
ural realities representing thoughts not errors or spirit- 
ual darkness. The language of material character tells 
us that stone will not manifest in our mind the qualities 
of oil, neither will consciousness or spirit be subject 
to natural influences of material bodies. The true reali- 
ties will have to be discovered and studied in their own 
realm of existence, and in their affinities to other realms 
before such a subject can be answered. That the lan- 
guage of Nature does not present her meanings in hu- 
manly defined terms, should be known, because man- 
kind has but imitated Nature. She presents realities, 
and within them there are invisible laws, principles, 
essences and meanings; and man has seen fit to name 
only individual, to us external and material, objects of 
Nature, with words, and from thereon must we go for- 
ward unto the grasping of Nature's higher realities. 
The purpose for which they are presented to us we will 
call reading the language of Creation in reality, just as 
we read human language from the word to the mean- 



The Language of Nature. 17 

ing, and from the meaning toward reality or misrepre- 
sentation slumbering therein. Truth, meaning reality 
and wisdom, are with Creation; while recognition, per- 
ception and the imitative powers of wisdom are with 
man. But when a man subjects his life to not-essentially- 
real things, then it is but right that he should dwell in 
his own assumptive layers of ignorance until experience 
will awaken him to the recognition of real things, there 
where they are held by Creation. There is more nat- 
ural meaning in a stone than there is to the word stone, 
and the meaning will spiritually compass the stone and 
its affinities, natural constitutive powers and time of 
lastingness as a mental qualitative atmosphere around it 
physically. So is there a world of meaning and reality 
in the word consciousness, or real man, much more than 
a material perception of the inky letters could uncover. 
But we take our detection of the meaning from the word 
consciousness, and from there on we follow upward to 
what Nature demonstrates through the human mind — 
to Avhat kind of realities are slumbering there, as germs 
which we did not draw out by our life's experiences. 
Slowly will the language of Creation come to our per- 
ception the more we study the meaning of the one word 
man in our life-parts within. Materialism, religion of 
bigotry, wrongly defined scientific laws, will all come 
into view, and the comprehension of this one reality of 
Nature man will grow and increase and enlarge. Its 
lastingness of existence will increase from the time of 
our birth until death seems to end it, and until the rays 
of the mind reaches beyond the valley of physical death, 
whence the mind, or man's powers, will step upon the 



18 Glimpses Into Nature. 

path of the eternal shore, where there is no end, no 
finite individuality. A center will come to our view — 
the birth of our entrance to existence, and a circumfer- 
ence of realities of Creation will appear upon that scene 
for our investigation. Meanings will take on a bulk of 
realities, as they naturally uphold a chain of connecting 
links of realities, life will follow, and real things will be 
measured by the meter of lastingness, and not by seem- 
ingly positive men of physical or finite life-impressions. 
That which is in us, and with Creation, must certainly 
be for all time the only measure of truth or eminence 
of human consideration. Natural utility tells us that a 
child must learn human language, because the con- 
nection from parent to child and mind to mind is more 
positive at the start of this eternal life; and it is a wise 
provision of Creation that the mind is not too soon di- 
rected into the endless eternal vastness of things which 
gaze into our life's real being. We therefore find a 
chain (parental love) holding the child to mother and 
father; and the man is living in human defined limits, 
until the germs of eternal realization are awakened and 
the meanings of time and space, motion and evolution, 
Love, Wisdom and Justice, come to him as endless and 
eternally standing; until the mathematics of realities will 
teach him to discern the complex from the single, the 
cube from the point, and to understand why conscious- 
ness, the life within man, is in itself a cube-reality, while 
the body is an areaWeality, and material solids without 
shaping qualities are a line-reality ; the chaos between 
rudimentary cosmic motion and quiescency is the begin- 
ning-point of the meaning of God's Wisdom. Awaken- 



The Language of Nature. 19 

ing of the mind is a slow process, and eternity is which 
stands to us in relation to that purpose. At all times 
will the mind, which is asleep say that, this is not real, 
Nature did not intend mankind to know this or that, but 
the awake one will see that quiescence and motion are 
the contrasts. The ignorant one is satisfied with his 
state of indifference, and only through pain will he be- 
come desirous of knowing the powers which control his 
welfare and ultimate perfection. What difference does 
it make to Nature if the animal ignores its own protec- 
tion against temperature and elementary necessities of 
life ? Life or death is the question, and the animal must 
endure pain if it cannot provide for its protection. Ex- 
actly so it is with the problem of mind or spirit ! What 
will the axiomatic Godly Wisdom of eternal character 
care for man's selfish assumptions if he considers human 
language preferable to God's real words of the All? 
Mind is an eternal germ. Creation, with all kinds of 
finite and eternal realities, has a spiritual relation to 
man. If a mind be so constituted as to believe in noth- 
ing, or in the wonders and miracles of priests, monks 
and popes, and is then expecting all kinds of undeserved 
happiness after the change, called death: Silent will 
there, stand the reality, as here. Mind, conscious life 
within; that sphinx of a complex world without; you, 
Oh Mind ! will find your way to peace by reading the 
meanings which stand to you through Creative Wisdom. 
We come, we go; fashion changes, periods of mental 
light and darkness intervene; but God's silent words are 
all the time public in the eternal letters without, and the 
mind must read within, and guide itself aright on God's 
path. 



WHAT AEE THOUGHTS? 

There are many ideas prevalent among mankind in 
regard to what thoughts are; some say thoughts are 
things, and will be satisfied with that explanation of the 
term; while others will say thoughts are forces, giving 
the statement as a more practical definition of the term 
and its innate meaning. Others speak of thoughts as 
if they were all the time a ready-made (to order) thing 
in Creation, and all a man had to do was to open his 
mind and let God's evolved thoughts be sponged directly 
up in his brain. So they also say, that God can think 
without a brain, but a man must have a brain that will 
enable him to think, which simply tells us that God can 
think without a brain, while men need do no evolving 
within themselves, but only let thoughts of devil, angel 
or God pass into their brain, and all the rest were self- 
evident. All these definitions are so practical and real 
for a shallow mind that they impress the assumed truth- 
fulness of their various definitions on our being at first 
sight. 

But there will have to be some clearing done in re- 
gard to what thoughts are, in order to know how to rea- 
son about them. We will take the subject of God first 
into consideration, and then, when we look squarely into 
the face of things, we can reflect about the force- and 
thing-idea. 

20 



What Are Thoughts? 21 

We, that is to say, every one who knows what he 
means when he says God, consider and understand that 
God is the Creator of the Universe, and particularly so 
the Creator of mankind. 

The Wisdom of Creation, the Plan in Time and 
Space, the Father of Spirit, is what we understand to be 
God; and the Power of God is measured, not by the 
thoughts He is supposed to have personally spoken to 
mankind, but by the innate, real Power, of operative 
demonstrative Wisdom, which is, was, and will be neces- 
sitated to keep the great All of Creation in its eternal 
continuation, irrespective of any or all kinds of human 
thought. All that God needs to do, does or will do, is 
not found within thoughts. God. is the Limit of Possi- 
bility of Creation' 's architecture and continuation with, 
and in all things; and since Wisdom, inexpressible and 
supreme Wisdom, is in and with the things that are, we 
know the attributes of God to be, Love and Justice as 
well as Wisdom. 

But, that God thinks we cannot and will not consider 
real for a single moment ! 

An Eternal Axiom of Creative Wisdom, which does 
not need the speculative and individual interest of the 
moment, but surpasses eternity in an axiomatic sway of 
an eternal Light of spiritual character — this Wisdom 
needs no such thing as thought, when w T e properly know 
what thought is ! God is the Creator— Transmitter — - 
Impressor — and constitutive Wisdom; and man, as well 
as all that is below him, is an expression of eternal at- 
tributes, co-efficient with Creation. 



22 Glimpses Into Nature. 

What is a thought? What meaning have we, as hu- 
man individuals, endowed with the power of memory, 
and by that, with the power to keep names up as words, 
attached to thoughts? What is the meaning that be- 
longs to thoughts? 

Thought, in a purely spiritual perception, is a men- 
tally represented picture of a thing which can be recog- 
nized in the All. We will say that Creation is, and that 
the mind is there, to recognize; while the recognition of 
a thing or part of a thing, represented or misrepresented 
in the mind, is what we name thought. A thought can 
be a nothing, but in so far as a reality of Creation is 
hidden within that thought, in so far it does have some- 
thing within itself. 

Consciousness is a flame of mental light — a spiritual 
light — which is a reality evolved through God's eternal 
Wisdom, equally as much so as the light of the sun. 
This light of the sun acts as an agent to uncover things 
in the external realm, as consciousness does in the in- 
ternal realm, and the external world therefore stands 
clearly within our view. The different things uncov- 
ered by the sun, as objects to our eyes, we could term in 
the realm of our external light, the same, which we 
term thoughts in the conscious or mental light of our 
spiritual or internal realm. But as the light of the sun 
is not itself the thing which it uncovers, so is a thought 
not itself the thing it represents. We say, and this with 
due knowledge of the fact, that, as far as we are con- 
cerned, the meaning hidden within a thought is a real- 
ity, and that when this meaning is presented to the 
realm of the things in which it deals, and is found to be 



What Are Thoughts? 23 

a verification of the reality it represents, then thought 
will be a true representation of the things in which it 
deals, also in so far as Creation is concerned. 

Thought is to a consciousness as much reality as a 
material thing is to man's body through his senses a 
reality; but thought will never be a material reality or 
a thing perceptible to the senses; nor will a mind, 
limited to material thinking, ever become aware of 
thought as reality. We would rather speak of the 
meaning within the thought; everything else of it is of 
no practical value to us, and every thought that has no 
definite meaning from Creation as a germ therein is 
simply thrown away conscious power. In the first place, 
thought is everything running through man's mind; 
secondly, are thoughts either pictures from direct ex- 
ternal impressions or conveyed to the mind by mental 
transmission, without knowing their source or origin; 
and thirdly, are they useful and of benefit to man's mind 
only when they convey meanings of superior character 
that in themselves directly influence consciousness. Out 
of the realm of things, whose meaning stand to the dis- 
position of the mind, it must seek the most useful life- 
light and growth-giving thoughts and be nourished by 
them through the detecting of their inner meanings. 

The assumption that God thinks is the result of the 
misconception of the true meaning of the word God. If 
God is the eternal perfect Wisdom, Who draws all things 
from 'below equal to Himself, or Who is the Attraction 
toward the Eternal from the finite shore of things — then 
we do not speak of thinking in God ! There can be no 
speculation in God, because from wherever we may look, 



24 Glimpses Into Nature. 

physically or mentally, there is continuity and evolu- 
tion contained right within the current of things. No- 
where is there such a thing as a thought needed with 
God, for when we knoAv that Avord to be perfect with 
God, we do not speak of Him as a speculative, contem- 
plating entity, evolving thoughts, but as the Eternal 
Plan and Wisdom, which is, was, and forever will be the 
axiomatical, without any possible change. That we, as 
finite minds, did not and do not realize things which 
have been and are now, is no fault of God's supposed im- 
perfectness, but the result of the conscious state of per- 
ception. 

A thought is, at best, only the representation of a 
thing. To say that a thought is a thing, is exactly the 
same statement as if we should say a man is a thing. 

This is a statement without any practical comparison, 
and will never be of benefit to any one, for if we do not 
know what the word man is in itself, the word thing 
would hardly make it clear to us. Man — a conscious- 
ness — is the subject we should study, and we would 
know, what is a thought. 

Thought is Force — yes, that is, when we mean force, 
but there is nothing in God's great All, which a thought 
could not be, in such vague a definition. A thought is 
a mental picture, or rather a meaning, and when it is 
detected (made spiritually alive) we can determine 
whether this thought is a thing or no, whether it is force, 
substance, ether or anything else it could convey. There 
is no word which could be more than a thought, tut in 
its most proper definition it is a mental reality. Let us 
give you an illustration: There is a tree. We see it; 
and the impression therefrom is a thought. This thought 



What Are Thoughts? 25 

is not the tree itself, but its meaning thereof can be the 
germ of growing the conscious perception equal to a 
power to picture the tree in our mind, and to grasp the 
principles of Nature that operate to express the tree, as 
well as the material parts that enter into its constitution. 
To our minds the tree is never more than the mental im- 
pression thereof; as a body it is a structure of wood to 
us; but, as a spiritual conscious operative entity, it is a 
question of a complex character, asked of us by Crea- 
tion, which we are to answer by that tree, and by all the 
natural and creative realities, which stand in visible and 
invisible relation to it. 

Mankind needs meanings, not thoughts, and from the 
meaning to the detection of its natural reality or unreal- 
ity, truth or untruth, is the way of growth of the spirit- 
ual man or spirit. Every thought is so much of a 
mental life-investment of the mind as expresses that 
thought, and if the thought conveys an unnatural or un- 
real meaning, it will bear no fruit of any result to the 
awakener of the thought. 

God never did, never does, and never will think ! All 
things are by God's Wisdom, which is eternal ! 

But man's office of life is to recognize the things, and 
learn to control and protect himself against all finite and 
eternal duties which he has to fulfill for his own pro- 
tection, and the recognition of things, as well as the per- 
ception of life's finite and eternal duties, given from 
mind to mind, we temi thoughts. The very demon- 
stration of a thought is showing its cause to be human, 
but the cause of the forming and creative power of 
thought within man is God within consciousness as well 
as without. 



26 Glimpses Into Nature. 

God never speaks in thoughts, hut in realities; and 
here a man dare not limit his view of the word realities 
to an animal standard of perception, which would be 
limiting the realities to the influences of the five phys- 
ical senses; but he must be willing to see them the way 
they are expressed by God's Wisdom in Creation. A 
man can never put a thought as positive reality; he 
should say, however, that the meaning of a thought 
is a representation or misrepresentation of a natural 
reality. 

The word thing or force is too vague a term, and not 
qualified sufficiently to express a clear definition of 
thought. 

The word thought, in the conscious sphere, is as vast 
a term as the word earth in the physical sphere; or the 
word Nature in a creative sense. 

Within thoughts and their meanings — is all conscious 
growth and spiritual clearness, and the very road to the 
eternal spiritual sun is hidden. All poisons of mental 
character, weaknesses, habits and evils are hidden in 
thoughts. The greatest truths have, by the misconcep- 
tion of the meaning in their thoughts, become the most 
poisonous things in existence, because wars, national and 
religious illiberality; scientific limitation and ignorance 
of living facts, have been caused by the misconception 
of thoughts. 

It is not thoughts that we seek, but their meanings; 
it is not Nature we seek, but the Wisdom hidden therein ; 
it is not the body we seek, but the consciousness therein ; 
it is not God we are seeking, but the natural meaning of 
the word, and live His commands as soon as we find 
them! 



LANGUAGE AND TKUTH. 

Nature never intended that language in itself should 
be the truth; neither dare any man claim, because a fact 
or truth is demonstrated through him, that he is the 
origin of that truth or fact. To be truthful, no man or 
woman dare say, because they brought to light a fact or 
wrote a book, that they invent, originate or make the 
truth, for a thought in itself is by no means a truth. 
The natural purpose and application of language must 
first be realized as a means to convey meanings from 
mind to mind, which meanings may be correct or incor- 
rect interpretations of a natural reality, but, whatever 
they are — at the Fountain of Reality alone — must we 
begin to discover the truth ; and not at the words and in- 
terpretations given by men ! 

A word is part of a sentence — a sentence is a thought, 
a sphere wherein there is hidden a meaning; this mean- 
ing may be a truth or reality, or it may be an untruth — 
a lie, or an unreality. The verification of truthfulness, 
in the natural meanings of thought, is the proper office 
of conscious life, and particularly so to those who are 
seeking things of everlasting values of life ! As the in- 
tellectual world stands now, thoughts — seem to be all 
there is — the meanings within them are seldom carried 
onward to their verification in Nature. It is a great 
failing of the people to consider human minds, or any 
conscious entity, to be a source of truth — in any form. 

27 



28 Glimpses Into Nature. 

Truth, and spiritual or living realities, have their 
basis in and with Creation ; and a mind can be the source 
of truth, in only so far, as it gives a clear interpretation 
of an essential natural reality of intrinsic conscious 
value. The idea that human minds have the source and 
capacity of basing truth will for all time have to be put 
upon the shelf of impractical reasoning. We must 
clear the very office of life before we can get ourselves 
near to such eminent a subject as life, and thoughts per- 
taining to it worth knowing. To within man's mind is 
to be presented and implanted all there is in Creation; 
and to whatever limit a man may succeed to implant 
Nature's realities, and reproduce in his consciousness 
pictures of them, to compare them with other things and 
actions, only in that limit is he enabled to learn to judge 
how Nature operates. We should all have a desire to 
change our present method of instructing the mind — 
and then actually do it. Instruction should be given, 
chiefly, to clear in the mind the natural purpose of con- 
sciousness, and the fulfillment of that purpose will then 
be, in itself, the desire of mankind. At least, we should 
teach the child — what it is, what the natural purpose of 
its life is — and guide its small mind to try to impress 
meanings of things and actions into itself, which it sees 
manifested in Nature. But as we are doing now — we 
dwell more in empty Avords — than in meanings, more in 
human authority — than in Nature's infallible "Ways and 
Wisdom, more in mockery and show — than in truth and 
reality ! Selfish human greatness must be much cur- 
tailed; and the cosmic real, spiritual side of Nature, must 
be recognized and become a subject of predominating 



Language and Truth. 29 

interest. Outside of language — its beauty of expres- 
sion as well as its proper composition — instruction will 
have to undergo a complete change. Human language, 
and its medium that principally spreads it — News 
Papers, are interested almost entirely in a few supposed 
to he great persons of a fashionable public — while God, 
the Wisdom of Nature which brings us here — the means 
of Nature, as well as the powers of the mind which 
realize them — all these things are quite ignored, on ac- 
count of selfish desires — money-making and ignorance. 
Even the sciences and religion have to tell more about 
the D.Ds., LL.Ds., and M.Ds., and who knows about 
how many other kinds of Ds., than what little they do 
know about that Wisdom which brought all these Ds., 
and all the rest of the unrecognized human family, into 
the To Be. Language, instead of being an agent to con- 
vey truth, has degenerated to a means of directing con- 
scious poison and selfish aggrandizement into human 
consciousness. 

With all the inventions and discoveries man has to 
his advantage now, the office of man is less understood 
than ever before. Mankind can imitate and study what 
human genius lias to say, but they do not seem to be 
able to study what God and Nature have to say, except- 
ing some little idiosyncrasy or peculiarity which may 
just have been discovered, or dug out of the layers of 
thoughts of the past, and dressed up in new words. If 
human minds would seek meanings rather than words, 
or truth and reality instead of wonders and miracles, 
things would be to the better in conscious life than they 
are now. The deep character of meanings, given by 



30 Glimpses Into Nature. 

some of those clear and natural moral minds of the past, 
have to be instinctively realized within the realm of 
thought in order to better understand their supreme 
reality — just as the animal will realize surrounding 
things when traveling in the darkness, in a manner not 
comprehensible to man, in spite of his greater intellect. 
We say deep character of meanings, and we will have to 
travel in Creation, through the realm in which they deal, 
until we have found the reality with which to verify 
those meanings. Truth and reality never can, and 
never will, be absolutely laid down in words; but they 
can be found to verify themselves in those realities of 
Creation in which they deal; otherwise, thoughts, even 
though they are supposed to be coming from omnipotent 
sources — are chaff for the mind, and will have to be ex- 
changed for something better ! 

Thoughts are receptacles of meanings; and their con- 
tents are, and always will be, the interpreters of the 
things of which they speak. The principality of in- 
fluence, with which the different things stand to all be- 
ings alike, should and must clear every thought some 
day, down to its natural, very bottom of meaning and 
value to us ! Spiritual or conscious light is obtainable 
in but one way, namely, to see in the consciousness all 
that is in Creation just as it is. 

The more unqualified and uncleared thoughts and 
meanings there are in us, the darker and more mystify- 
ing is our spiritual perception, and the longer and greater 
must consequently be the time and effort needed to clear 
our spiritual light of perception. 



Language and Truth. 31 

Spiritual, or conscious perception, sees the all of every- 
thing. The all is the whole realm of affinity, to reali- 
ties of various kinds, that any particular thing may have. 
Time, place, motion, evolution, layers of qualities, 
utility in Nature — are real things in actual connection 
with everything; and this connection, perceived by the 
spiritual perception of the mind, of affinities between all 
things — is here termed the knowing and perceiving of 
"the all" in any particular thing or object concerned. It 
may be seen, why Nature evolves a mind through hu- 
man language, by which it may become acquainted with 
and capable of reading or picturing meanings far su- 
perior than any power of words could convey. Spirit 
or mind reads meanings direct, and that is all there is 
of value in a thought — whatever else there may be to 
the thought is needed to raise our attention to the mean- 
ings reception. Mind, or intellect, can never be the 
source or an avenue of truth, only in that limit in which 
it studies and realizes a cosmic reality; but the pictures 
or thoughts that come from a mind are never in them- 
selves a truth, except when the meanings contained 
therein represent a truth, a fact, or reality of Nature. 
This should prove to us, now and for all time, that any- 
thing in the line of truth cannot be a book or its 
thoughts within, but the meaning or spiritual recog- 
nition, and verification of a truth. To speak of a book 
as the source of truth is unwise, and indeed foolish, for 
no book can be the source of life's truth, except only in 
so far as its meanings are confirmed in their own realm 
of Nature, where they belong; otherwise, the book is a 
material thing, which fact subjects it to change and dis- 



32 Glimpses Into Nature. 

use. Our own individual thoughts, if not verified with 
— and in the very nature of things, are nothing more 
than thoughts of others — changeable mental chaff, soon 
abandoned and forgotten. Language is beneficial only 
as a guide and descriptive agent, but for that, all litera- 
ture could easily be destroyed without much loss to hu- 
man minds. Creation holds all things eternally real, 
and in the realms of Creation has the recognizing to be 
done. Every mind, willing to be spiritually or con- 
sciously clear, will, from the supposed to be perfect 
scientific statements, have to turn to Nature to verify 
their meanings. The realizing of guiding truths, as 
well as material realities, stand naturally alike to all 
mankind; namely: every one desiring absolute truth is 
bound to realize Creation's Realities and Ways — none 
others. It is never sceptical to doubt fallible minds or 
finite things — but it takes a fearfully debased scepticism 
to doubt Nature, and the God of Creation ! 

To the mind, which can see that there is in and with 
Nature a Wisdom equal to constitute a consciousness, it 
must be a fact that mind is a reality of more eminence 
than the apparent reality of the physical man only; but, 
to the man who lives and dwells in the authority of hu- 
man minds — God will forever be a myth, while the 
thoughts of materialistic limitation will appear to him a 
great reality. 

Minds, who are awake, will turn toward the source 
whence all things come to be, and not toward the things 
themselves. We do not expect that printing-presses 
come out of printed matter, nor could any reasonable 
mind ever suppose that God was borne out of His Own 



Language and Truth. 33 

Creation; the paper passes through the press and is 
printed, and so it is with Creation — The Eternal Wis- 
dom creates, and is actually manifested in the Wisdom 
that is required to really constitute and destine things, 
and will forever remain to us as the Creator only — and 
never as a thing or person, created to appear materially 
or otherwise. One might as well say that letters pro- 
duce meanings, whilst in reality meanings produce let- 
ters ! We must try to read from the things which are 
— to the Power which caused them; the Power who 
causes — is the meaning, and the thing that is caused — 
is the word. Language is a layer of twofold conscious 
interest: First, every child and adult must impress his 
mind with words, and from there grow onward toward 
the understanding and comprehension of their mean- 
ings; in the interim of which the mind must grow the 
ability to give expression to articulate speech, in order 
to exchange words with other minds, which furnishes 
all the necessary drill to accomplish the art of language ; 
secondly, must the mind arrive at a condition of evolu- 
tion, during which it learns to use words as representa- 
tives of Nature, or creative realities, or with which to 
faithfully represent the truth. Both conditions remain 
with us for all time. 

We never know the final purpose of a thing, except- 
ing only in a relative sense. When we speak to any- 
body in order to help him along spiritually, we should 
under all conditions, decline to give expression to mean- 
ings that cannot be verified by realities in Creation! 
With manly integrity we should acknowledge that, 
spiritually, we are now in a kindergarten, rather than 

3 



34: Glimpses Into Nature. 

to assume that we know, and then speak at random. 
The time for talking nonsense and exhibiting fear in 
the study of spiritual things should quickly draw to a 
close, and the kindergarten-condition of human minds 
should be confined to their own state of utility. Every 
one who claims to know anything is requested to give 
his opinion, or try to show whether or not the nature of 
things verify his point of argument. 

That mankind have used invisible spiritual means — 
their minds — (or, in other words, have used thoughts in 
a mind invisible, but still real) — to reason out of ex- 
istence invisible realities, as one of their main efforts in 
life — will not much longer stand to reason, but will sink 
into lower mind conditions — into oblivion, where it be- 
longs ! That life should reason out of existence — life is 
hard to digest, but such is actually done, and is a condi- 
tion of mind that still controls many who have power 
to think and spread just such patented thoughts. That 
the flame of purely conscious life should base the ground 
of its activity — the logic of its own consciousness — upon 
material limitations, will, in itself, be the tombstone of 
the present clay mental speculators. For. faculties of 
great theological seminaries to explain miracles of old 
in preference to the "Wisdom of Nature, naturally re- 
quired to constitute consciousness, and base truth upon 
books and old Scriptures in preference to life and su- 
perior living thoughts, coming from the perception of 
God's TTisdom, will prove to be the mass to be read over 
the burial of old lies ! 

Upon the old, which had to serve as an avenue from 
which to draw spiritual germs for the mind equal to 



Language and Truth. 35 

realize the fundament of eternal truth, which is upon 
the very Wisdom of God, required to constitute the con- 
scious entity and protect it as such regardless of all 
physical changes during bodily life — and upon the 
mental changes which come about by changes of en- 
vironment after the body ceases here to exist, which 
keep the entity protected as such, nourished through 
purely spiritual sources and means — upon these premises 
does the new mental structure base itself. 

The God of Nature shall be our Authority of writ- 
ings ; and Nature, with all her manifold realities and in- 
dividually expressed parts, will be the letters, the words 
and thoughts, and the combination of these, as Creation 
presents them to us — will give us the only hypothesis 
that will have the reality as a basis, and that can be 
trusted to be true under all circumstances or emergen- 
cies. 

Not words and letters will we seek — but meanings; 
the word is but the start, the beginning, the seed, that 
slowly enters our mind as an active picture, and gives 
us the meaning that spiritually will influence us to the 
realization of that field of Nature into which it belongs, 
or in which it deals. 

In Nature our spirit will become quickened to realize 
the past and the future, the simple and complex, the 
finite and eternal, the constituted, and Constitutive 
Wisdom of Nature, or God, and the things which are 
expressed and keep those eternal currents toward God's 
eternal Breath of Spiritual Activity ! 



ABOUT LANGUAGE. 

"Words are oral and written language; and if a per- 
son does not know the meaning a word does express, he 
usually will turn toward the dictionary to see what 
definition the scientists have ascribed to that word; and 
as long as men try to learn the meaning of words out of 
books, it is correct to take the definitions as they find 
them there. Language, at best, is only an attempt to 
convey meanings of known realities from mind to mind 
■ — by conscious means (defined terms). Human minds, 
therefore, have a perfect right to define words as far as 
they can understand or interpret the reality of the things 
they represent; but there, reasonably, is^a limit even to 
scientific defining of words. A word, representing a 
certain function or natural complex reality of Creation, 
can never be properly defined by the lexicographer or 
scientist, for Nature defines that term distinctly in the 
thing itself. For instance, let us take the word digest — 
what scientist or lexicographer could limit a term of 
this kind by a simple definition ? All a man can do is to 
watch what Nature manifests and produces through its 
complex activity in all animate and inanimate life by 
digestive functions. Nature will give her definitions 
absolute — whilst the pen of a scientist could give but a 
poor outlay of his perception in this line. So we could 
name words by the hundreds that are definable by hu- 
man language only in so far as is needed to guide one

to perceive their natural drift of meaning, and Nature 
will do all the rest in the very reality or function of 
things. 

We will now attempt to clear a few of the words by 
definitions of Webster on one side and Nature's view on 
the other, because it is certainly the business of every 
true scientist to simplify and guide every mind to the 
source of all truth — to seek the reality where Nature 
presents it to us, in the very thing in which it is natu- 
rally held. 



Webster's 
Scientific Definition. 
Consciousness, — knowledge 
of sensations and mental op- 
erations, or of what passes in 
one's own mind; the act of 
the mind which makes 
known an internal object. 



Mind, — the intellectual or 
intelligent power in man; the 
understanding; the power 
that conceives, judges, or 
reasons. The heart or seat 
of affection. 



Nature's Reality 
As Perceived by the Mind. 

Consciousness, — is man; 
Nature's evolution through 
the physical human body, is 
consciousness. (Conscious- 
ness not realizing its own 
self, takes physical things as 
the fundament of all realiza- 
tion; this gives body as the 
man, while in Nature's real- 
ity, consciousness is the man. 

Mind, — is the mental at- 
mosphere surrounding the 
consciousness; it is the realm 
of mental realities standing 
with or to the individual; and 
consciousness (the spiritual 
light-activity), is the inter- 
pretation of those realities. 
Spiritual light-activity, natur- 
ally, uncovers whatever there 
is in the mental surrounding, 
as the physical eye uncovers 
whatever there is in the 
ical surrounding.

Belief, — persuasion of the 
truth, or an assent of mind 
to the truth of a declaration, 
proposition, or alleged fact, 
on the ground of evidence, 
distinct from personal knowl- 
edge; — founded on internal 
impressions, or arguments 
and reasons furnished by our 
own minds; as, the belief of 
our senses; a train of reason- 
ing may result in belief. 

— Religion; the body of 
tenets held by the professors 
of the faith. 

— The thing believed; the 
object of belief. 



Faith, — belief; the assent 
of the mind to the truth of 
what is declared by another, 
resting on his authority and 
veracity, without other evi- 
dence. 

The assent of the mind to 
the truth of divine revela- 
tion; in other words, that 
firm belief of God's testi- 
mony and of the truth of the 
gospel, which influences the 
will, and leads to an entire 
reliance on Christ for salva- 
tion. 

Life, — in a general sense, 
that state of animals and 
plants, or of an organized be- 
ing, in which its natural 
functions and motions are 



Belief, — is the realization 
of the principality of influ- 
ence on the mind. 

Every mind by the very 
necessity of thinking is com- 
pelled to put belief on some- 
thing. In the study of mat- 
ter, belief, or reliance is 
placed on material realities, 
and directed to reason into 
them. When our study is di- 
rected toward the invisible 
force — side of Nature — under- 
standing and truth come to 
us, because visible and in- 
visible things, laws, and 
forces do exist. Visible things 
are expressions of invisible, 
originating and sustaining 
potentials. 

Faith, — is active manifesta- 
tion of belief within; it repre- 
sents the quality and quan- 
tity belief is constituted of. 

Faith, is the controlling and 
directing force emanating 
from belief. 

Everybody acts according 
to his faith, for the very com- 
pletion of an act, proves the 
influence of the dominating 
faith. 



Life, — is motion, entering 
the lowest plant-formations 
as an inner motory activity 
which has the manifestation 
of the plant for its function;

— In animals, animation; 
vitality; and in man, that

soul and body are united. 

— In plants, the state in 
which they grow, or are capa- 
ble of growth, by means of 
the circulation of the sap. 

— Blood, the supposed vehi- 
cle of animation. 

—Spirit; animation; brisk- 
ness; vivacity; resolution. 



Realization, — the act of 
realizing or making real. 

— The act of believing or 
considering as real. 

— The act of bringing into 
being or act. 

Realize, v. t.— to impress 
on the mind as a reality; to 
believe, consider, or treat as 
real, to feel in all its force. 

Spiritual, — consisting of 
spirit; not material; incor- 
poreal; as, a spiritual sub- 
stance or being. The soul of 
man is spiritual. 

— Not lay or temporal; re- 
lating to sacred things; 
ecclesiastical; as, the spirit- 
ual functions of the clergy. 

— Pertaining to the re- 
newed nature of man, as,

ous states of the vegetable — 
over into the animal kingdom 
for the preservation of mo-

the growth-giving quality of 
the plant for the growth of 
the animal body. The sensory 
and motory activities, evolved 
through animal-life, associate 
then to centres, which are 
conscious activity or human 
life. 

Human life, then — is mo- 
tion, evolved, grown, and con- 
stituted into a spiritually 
active life or consciousness. 

Realization, — is to become 
aware of a reality, in the way 
that Nature presents it to us. 
Realization in itself, is al- 
ways a mental or spiritual 
picture. 

The office of life, given by 
Nature to consciousness, is 
to verify the reality of that 
mental picture in its own 
realm of meaning. 

Spiritual, — anything sub- 
stantially motory or active, 
that has passed through, or 
above the Conscious state of 
existence. 

The basis of spiritual 
things is — consciousness; as, 
the concentration of gravitary 
forces, from every direction 
of space to one centre, is the 
basis of our Earth, ar any 
other planet. 



40 Glimpses Into Nature. 

Wisdom — Whatever the definition of this word at 
the present day may be, its principal definition is natu- 
rally the way in which Creation expresses or establishes 
things, or the Limit of Nature's Possibility. Such 
eminent words as include the whole spiritual view of 
Creation must never be defined only in the human 
changeable sense, but must be detected and defined in 
its natural and axiomatic meaning. The way in which 
God and Nature expresses and destines things — the way 
in which they are "possible" — this is, to our perception, 
the natural and axiomatic meaning of the word Wisdom. 
Human nature has a right to define words according to 
fashion; and lexicographers or scientists may, in their 
misconception of realities, give but a shade of the real 
meaning, but whenever we step nearer to Creation, then 
there is in existence a natural definition most perfect, 
which stands preeminently above all human speculation 
and limitation. In a human sense the definition of 
wisdom is the proper conscious knowledge, which Nature 
and her Wisdom demands the mind to know; sl state of 
mind which can be acquired only when it understands 
the modus operandi of Creation, which makes life possi- 
ble, and enables it to fully protect itself in a finite and 
eternal sense. It is the proper conception of the mean- 
ing of the word Wisdom, which must clear to us the 
utility of life, school-education, science, philosophy, and 
most eminently — religion. Without wisdom, all acting, 
thinking and hoping is but the antipode of Wisdom, or 
folly in the end ! 

JUSTICE— 

like Wisdom, rests on the axiom of Nature, that every

contrast has a natural innate tendency to adjust or reach 
a point of equity. Whatever we name the process of 
adjustment in motory, material or living realms, and 
the innate tendency of sense of mental or conscious ad- 
justments, it should suffice to say, that no motion, 
activity, operation or manifestation of Nature comes to 
expression, but that it comes as an adjustment of con- 
trasts previously in existence. The realm of motion and 
the natural principles which express, form and operate 
can be perceived only through the light of Justice — the 
way the natural axiom, meaning Justice, stands to us. 
God operates from contrasts toward adjustments — and 
this is the only trustworthy agent of truth and realities 
— their cause and destiny — to the conscious perception. 

Justice, in a human sense, can only be the perception 
of Nature's eternal principles, which adjust contrasts or 
iniquities, in the material as well as in the conscious 
realm ! 

Consciousness, being in itself an eternally constituted 
reality of the human being, must meet a perfect adjust- 
ment with all fellow-beings with which it comes in con- 
tact during life, as well as with Nature, Causation or 
God's superior Wisdom and His Demands in general ! 

It is upon this spiritual axiom of conscious Justice 
that the laws of any and all countries must be based be- 
fore the grossest iniquities of life can be adjusted, and 
savage governments can come to an end that destroy our 
brother-beings with animal instincts, and ignore the 
laws of conscious life, as well as Nature's demand of 
protecting and growing consciousness as the very first 
law of God which stands to our fulfillment, and the rude 



42 Glimpses Into Nature. 

fulfilling of Justice to God, the Giver of Life, as the 
first duty of our existence. 

The three principal meanings of adjustment we face 
are: 

(1) Adjustment to God: — To fulfill God's request, 
which is to honor life as the most eminent reality to our 
observation, which honoring is demonstrated only in 
keeping strict and severe laws of conduct, so that pro- 
tection, growth and purification of consciousness, in all 
human beings alike, are the basis of a naturally legal 
constitution of a country; all the rest sinks to a second- 
ary consideration. 

(2) Adjustment to Nature: — Intellectual, mechan- 
ical, practical and artistical development in every and 
all minds of the community, to the best of life. 

(3) Adjustment to Conscious Life: — A due respect, 
honor and consideration of the parental duties — honor, 
from children to parents — honor, for the minds who 
command the greater natural — and God's truth — and 
honor God's Desire of growing all conscious minds from 
the imperfect to the perfect — and love the life of your 
brother as you do your life; never direct or sentence a 
person to a state which you could not undergo yourself 
without danger to life. 

LOVE — 

is the natural and innate tendency of associating like 
and like realities — a current of attraction, absolute and 
eternal, within conscious life as well as throughout all 
Creation. The attraction of male to female, or vice 
versa, is only a natural and inductive agent of acquaint- 



About Language. 43 

ing the mind with the principle of Love, or association. 
The more perfectly our mental, spiritual or physical as- 
sociative tendency to each other is fulfilled — the greater 
is the gain and happiness resulting. The better we con- 
sciously fulfill the innate love from consciousness to the 
Giver of Life, God — the higher and purer will be our 
desire to act, think and live ! The more we allow our 
love to Nature (as God's direct expression of Kealities) 
to conduct our mental affinity to every-day life — the 
purer and more-common-sense-reason will appear in our 
consciousness. The more we allow the affinity to con- 
sciousness and mental realities reign in our being — the 
more perfectly will our thoughts represent realities of 
Creation. 

Love to the highest, purest, and sublimest, — should 
be our aim; 

Justice to God, mankind, and Nature, — our conduct 
of action; 

Wisdom, — the road from the imperfect to the perfect 
— in the real limit of our ability to perform the will of 
our conscience as soon as possible — is our destiny de- 
sired ! 



THESES rOK HUMAN KEASON. 

A great All to be realized; — a mind given to realize 
with; — all is found worthy the study of; 

Yet, the mind itself, — opening and interpreting the 
world for ns, — is neglected and forgotten, and not found 
worthy of attention ! 

Good, it is; and reasonable to seek physically demon- 
strated things, and determine their limit of actual dem- 
onstration; yet, it should never lead a person to neglect 
such an eminent reality as the mind; — to seek it, — to 
investigate and realize it, — to analyze, compare and com- 
bine it; — to seek the end and endlessness therein; to 
seek God's Light and the shadows of Earth therein; to 
seek the changeability of its own constitution, and the 
eternal basis of the mind — resting upon the highest 
flame of consciousness, — the flame of God's eternal light 
within us. This is man's supreme duty, command and 
office in this life, and, the purely conscious life after — 
the depose of the body! 

There are many things held to our investigation, — 
beautiful and homely, — perfect and imperfect, — attract- 
ive and abhorable ; but nothing is more real, — more com- 
plex, — nearer or further away — than Mind, — the only 
thing worthy of real study for the seeker of Truth. 

For the man, — seeking realities, — is Mind ! because 
whatever is, will not change.

But whatsoever cannot be realized, and jet is, will, 
can, and does come to us only — by growth of Mind ! 

Nature's Limit of Possibility to demonstrate con- 
sciousness. 

How vast a subject ! 

How could conscious wakefulness be really man- 
ifested?— 

Upon the acre of sense-feeling in Creation, centered 
from the realm of associated sensation, and constituted 
from centre to circumference through the affinity of 
mentally associated realities — consciousness is demon- 
strated. 

And yet, in face of this natural demonstration, Oh 
mankind, how far could you sink — as Mind to ignore 
Mind ! 

Do you call this science ! 

Do you seek walking as flesh or as walking? 

Do you seek motion as matter? 

Do you seek man as the body,? or, 

Do you seek consciousness with its centre-seeking and 
centre-protecting thoughts, or with its thoughts of pleas- 
ures, joys, and responsibilities — as Nothing? 

Where, or what is science, when it does not know the 
realities it seeks? 

Things are, what they are; and the right interpreta- 
tion of these things is the subject of mankind to man- 
kind ! 

Human science and philosophy should know, that the 
matter of the world did not start the knowledge of the 
things that are; but consciousness — the awake mind — 
did, and still does ! 



46 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The most eminent subject, facing us through life, is 
therefore not the material character of things, but the 
knowledge of what is required by Nature to constitute — ■ 
consciousness — as the mind or spirit of man ! 

As far as things — required to express and constitute 
the conscious entity — are concerned, it is not only the 
body that is needed, but the whole Earth, as a world, to 
give that body; Time, as an expression of empirical real- 
ity, and Space — as an expression of empirical reality, 
and many other things. 

The body in itself — is not consciousness — neither is 
time or space — nor anything else of the outer material 
world ! But, as lower requirements to evolve and con- 
stitute a consciousness — these empirical realities are 
needed. Consciousness can only be measured as such 
in the limit in which Nature demonstrates it. 

A man could say, I study Earth — and, I study man; 

I study Time — and, I study man; 

I study Space — and, I study man; 

I study Body — and, I study man; 

But all such statements are assumptions, erroneous; 
they are a gross misconception of man in reality. 

Especially dare such vague understanding of the self 
not underlie the three principal instructive branches, 
which are: 

Medicine — the art of curing, preventing, and alleviat- 
ing disease in human bodies — the science of human 
health — Hygiene. 

Law or Jurisprudence — the science of human Social 
and Legal Adjustments; and 



Theses for Human Reason. 47 

Religion — the Basis of Human Growth and Morals 
and the lesson of Eternal Conscious or Spiritual Life! 

Consciousness — was, is, and will be — what opens the 
World for us; it opens Creation, Nature, — and God 
therein to us. 

It is therefore our most essential office of life, to open 
— know — and learn about Consciousness — in the Limit 
of Natural Possibility of Demonstration. 

If science is an attempt to clear the subject of Life 
through the study or investigation of external things, — 
it will fail ! For, to the Student of Life external or ma- 
terial things will all the time be of only second-class 
interest j while the principal lesson standing to him — is 
how to clear the Self, the Life — Mind or Consciousness 
within ; as soon as this is known, the outer external world 
will naturally become clear and interpretable. 

The rooms and walls of a palace can never be practi- 
cably reached, but by finding the keys that will fit the 
locks of their doors. 

So it is in the neglect of life; no one can expect to un- 
lock the door of Creation, but by having the key (Con- 
sciousness) and the lock in which it must be turned — 
(Creative Wisdom — the Consciousness that did express 
us!). The whole Creation is comparable to the rooms 
and apartments of the palace, — and the key and lock in 
the door, to consciousness within, and Creative Wisdom 
outside of us ! 

The ground on which we rest is not material — but 
conscious ground — Consciousness per se. Conscious- 
ness is not dead, earthly substance, but a very much 
alive activity! 



48 Glimpses Into Nature. 

It is not, through the animal senses perceived, a 
limited world, but revealed Creation — which revelation 
comes to us through the naturally enflamed, complex 
conscious activity within us and Creation ! 

It is not the material, servant-expressive-substance of 
earth, or things of dirt — but the forming — constituting 
— destining activities, we are seeking ! Nature's Wis- 
dom, or God's uniform Laws, as they stand to us, are 
The Eternal Bock or Basis for every awake man! 

How could life be natural, except as activity — con- 
scious activity? And what could body be, naturally, 
except standstill activity of Creation? — Activity, pressed 
by superior vehemence into a condition of standstill! 
Limit of Possibility — impress this thought deeply into 
your mind, — then read the Language of Beality! 

Read substance — as syllables — formed from the dif- 
ferent letters of motion; then, read associated substance 
— as words, or syllables, united by Creation'' 's Language, 
to materialization; and then read active materiality, as 
rudely indicated in water, or, more elevatedly, in at- 
mosphere, — as thought of Creation; and then step up- 
ward to a mental creative axiom, — based upon solid, im- 
material constituents in the consciousness, — as an ex- 
pression of activity — more complex. 

Body — is the word of Nature; spirit — life — conscious- 
ness — is its meaning, which must be interpreted, and 
deeply impressed, on our consciousness. 

A complex reality, associated to one thing, must be 
studied in its different parts necessary to its constitution ! 

So, we will have to know what awakeness is; what we 
are — the consciousness! 



Theses for Human Reason. 49 

If we know in our consciousness, that matter of any 
character is forever in a changeable condition within 
ourselves, but that that one flame of invisible activity 
holds our name, talent, skill, knowledge, might and 
power, then, — on whom, or what, shall we trust, Oh 
man? 

Shall we trust on that changeable body — of material 
substance? or, should we trust on that endlessly en- 
kindled spiritual flame of consciousness ? Do you rather 
seek the possession of a Dollar, as a finite capital — and 
allow spiritual wisdom to pass by as an endlessly increas- 
ing value? 

That body will return as dust to dust is realized in- 
stinctively by the animal, — not to speak of philosophiz- 
ing man; — but, that life would go to life — to conscious- 
ness in Creation, — is considered credulity ! 

Or, is consciousness not real? 

How ! will answer ivliat naturally guarantees the Real- 
ity? Is it material limitation of things — or, is ex- 
istence, everything real in its own natural state of 
presentation ? 

Mathematics tells us one thing, — namely, that if there 
were no things of matter in Creation — no human being 
could be here as body, as there would be no body from 
which to form body. 

Likewisely is it Mathematic — that if there were no — ■ 
Consciousness — no operative, active Plan of Wisdom in 
Creation — there would be no mind as Mind, — for, the 
Reality, necessary to constitute an entity or mind, — 
would not be in existence. The human entity is a cen- 
tring of conscious life as — thought — or meaning — ele-

merits of Creation ! The human body, as well as the 
Earth we dwell upon, — is a centring of material ele- 
ments ! 

It is certainly more easy to ignore the whole subject of 
life, — than it is to read the objects of realities in Crea- 
tion! God, — actively creative — asks recognition, per- 
ception, and consideration of every consciousness — that 
life may become happier, better and purer ; and become 
expressed in the highest manner in all which consciously 
lives. But the animal part of man, from and out of 
which we have to germinate, — spiritually, — is the qual- 
ity of standstill, in contrast to conscious growth; and 
will prevent conscious perception, — until we become 
consciously or spiritually — active — motory — and grow- 
ing! 

Can we step upon the practical, honest ground of Sea- 
son — and teach the mind, through the Medium of Re- 
ligion, — what in us is alive now, — and will continue to 
be alive, — after the dissolution of the physical body? 

Wisdom of Creation, as our God and Father to us, cer- 
tainly requests, and demands of us the recognition of 
what we are as a living reality, — and the recognition of 
the Natural, operative and active Wisdom — through 
which our life was expressed. 

The proof of God's existence is — the created world! 
And especially are we seeking our Father, — not as a 
natural born, living and deceased man — for that in it- 
self, wherever done, is idolatry, — because that is, — rais- 
ing up the created equal to the Creator; but, as Wisdo7n 
as Creative Spirit only, must we seek Him. 



Theses for Human Reason. 51 

Growth of consciousness is really possible in only one 
limit : that of knowing of a Higher Wisdom, within and 
outside of us, — operatively and axiomatically demon- 
strating, — inner qualities of Wisdom — equal to express 
our conscious constitution. 

This is our spiritual light of life, — and if not known — 
or, by reason of materially directed, overbalanced mind, 
— not looked upon as Real, then, dark, objectless, and 
erroneous is our life, until — we become awakened equal 
to know — The Reality of Life within ! 

Creation demonstrates life, consciousness, or spirit of 
man, as such — Spirit — Life — or Consciousness; — and 
not as body or matter. And to direct mankind to realize 
it as such, — must be the Basis of human instruction — ■ 
particularly ! 

Everything is a reality ! not, because it is materially 
expressed — but, because it exists. And man all the 
time demonstrates a debased consciousness — when he 
limits the reality to — the influence on consciousness of 
his five physical senses ! Mind, — is real as Mind; 
Consciousness, — as Consciousness, and Thought, — as 
Thought — in the very order of Creation ! 

A thought-reality is to consciousness, at least equiv- 
alent to — what a material thing is to the physical body; 
because the very body — is only thought to us — if we 
know ourselves. But since thought more directly in- 
fluences our life, — we should know that it is the more 
eminent reality. Physical things are the rudimentary 
realities, — that awaken our being to a mental awareness. 

To think that the influences of the five physical senses 
are the limit of the powers with which to determine 



52 Glimpses Into Nature. 

Realities, — means to subject human reason — to the ani- 
mal powers of perception; for no physical sense will re- 
mit — reproduce — or rematerialize — the last moment to 
our present sensation; — nor our name — nor the mean- 
ing of a thought! Either will the mind awaken, and 
say: — I am a mind — -a consciousness — irrespective of 
what kind of influence may come through the physical 
senses, or reason will not be exercised in that I or mind 
sufficient — to base the self upon that premise of Creation 
— on which it rests — human consciousness. 

The five physical senses — did not bring, or interpret, 
: — the world to us; neither can they be other, — than or- 
gans — through which certain realities or qualities of 
Creation are brought to our knowledge. It is conscious 
wakefulness — the human life-activity which did, and 
does open the world to us. To this reality — all others 
must be subjected; for in this, — in the consciousness, 
must they be determined ! 

Life, — Consciousness, — is; thoughts and meanings, 
— are; and subordinate or lower senses — controlled and 
influenced by consciousness — are. But consciousness 
we must know as the most eminent reality before the 
world will stand to us in a light that will enable us to 
find— The Way of Truth ! 

The All is a nothing — and will never interest us — if 
the I — the consciousness — is not. Therefore, is the in- 
struction, in all human branches of knowledge, good and 
practical, only in that limit, in which it strives — to an- 
swer the lastingness of consciousness in the human 
entity. 



Theses for Human Reason. 53 

What alarm has any man for God, Jesus, or Devil, 
for Heaven, Hell, or any other religiously considered 
question of interest, — if he knows the end of himself? 

The most eminent point in Morals is therefore not in 
the things outside of mind, — but in beginning to realize 
the concious center within, and clear the subject of what 
God, or Nature, intends with our life. 

Of mankind, is naturally only the consciousness it- 
self, — the resurrective part — before, as well as after, the 
death of the body; and in, or with, God's Wisdom — 
which did create us — is the resurrective principle. 

It is purely conscious power, which looks into the 
layers of past and future, and on account of this very 
power has an affinity to eternal realities; whilst the 
physical or animal senses — are the corruptible, change- 
able parts of man. 

All, which we know — realize — and comprehend — all, 
which we are and will be,-^— is the result of consciousness 
— its state within us — and in all aspects do we face the 
growth of self-life. Religion will, and must, step upon 
conscious ground, and uncover the compass given by 
Jesus- — all power, on Earth and in Heaven, — here, and 
in any state, or sphere of life, — is given to the I. 

It is a gross and idolatrous error of the fashionable 
religious mind — to suppose all power and disposition of 
the human entity to be centered on the I of Jesus, — 
and to be within his power only; — while with Xature, 
it is a universal fact, all power, here and in Heaven 
( — Spiritual Life, — ) is within the consciousness, or I, 
of every woman and man! 



54 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The above is recognition and explanation in spiritual 
mathematics, and in this sense it was given by Jesns. 

What do we or any one else care, for who or what 
has all power in Heaven and on Earth if we, or the I 
does not live? All such misdirections in Moral teach- 
ing, are like thrashing empty straw. 

To give a point of universal explanation — we will 
mention, that it is the lesson of life, and particularly 
that of religion, to interpret the "V of all mankind in 
general and not that of a certain individual man in par- 
ticular (as Jesus, or some other reformer), but I or con- 
sciousness — must be treated as a scientific basis of 
interest — the same as water in the science of Chemistry. 

Our own consciousness — given us by the Creator — ■ 
should certainly prove of greater interest to us, than 
that of some — or anybody else. 

The only Being to Whom our consciousness should 
bow, is — the Wisdom, Power, and Might, — God of 
Creation that brought us here! This is the absolute 
Compass of Religion for an awake man. The grossest 
moral error, that can be committed, is the abandonment 
of our own entity — as the most eminent reality for our 
eternal consideration — and the adoption and adoration 
of any other thing — object — picture — person — spirit or 
entity, in place of it! 

As minds are now, they are subjective — servants — 
and second-class considerations, dominated by persons — 
spirits — idols — pictures — and material things : as money 
— all of which things are subject to error and delusion, 
and influence the mind with erroneous thoughts ; hinder-

ing by this, the very natural and normal freedom, and 
growth of consciousness. 

Hence the moral depravity of our present day — from 
the lack of self-respect, and surplus of self-conceit. 

The object of Real religion is, to find and know the 
/ or consciousness — the life within, — through the Wis- 
dom which brought, expressed, and holds us here as 
an entity. 

Father, is the word, as used by Jesus; — and to the 
Fattier alone will we bow; — and the i", is the Master- 
Reality, which forever will stand to us as the Master 
in all things. 

Idolatries — ceremonies — habits — vices — and all such 
things — are one and the same fruit of one seed, and 
furnish an excuse of the mind for a thing which is not 
needed — useful — or essentially called for by life. 

It is a gross habit to think that Mary or Jesus had any- 
thing in common with Omnipotence; — and it takes as 
much mental strength and will-power to balance the 
self -mind against such customary thought, as it does to 
check a mind from vice, habitual activity, or evil of 
any other character. 

Physically considered, History exists only in books 
to us j and just as vast a difference, as there is between 
Nature (and all there is within her — in life, — and in 
our own consciousness as a natural reality) and a little 
book (even though considered true and holy), just so 
vast a difference there is between life, or real religion, 
— and thoughts of antiquity, considered still to be the 
religion of now-a-days. 



56 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The book is only an infinitesimal part, of a thing, — 
in a world of objects — in which all realities allow an 
endless continuation. 

The prevalent religion of to-day, demands a belief, 
and the subjection of the mind, to old books, — by eccle- 
siastic request ! But, The Religion of Reality will bring 
to us the thought, or germ, of a meaning — telling us, 
that the / within, is the plant we are to grow in God's 
Vineyard; and the knowledge of how to grow it — are 
in the laws with the Father, the Giver of Life, — The 
Creative Wisdom of Nature. 

Physically, we do not look at the World through the 
organic eye of a King, Pope, or Preacher — but through 
the eye, specially given us by God to see with; likewise 
so, we must see life, its duties in, and with ourselves, 
through our conscious I, given for that purpose; and 
not through that of a King, Pope, or Preacher, or any 
other human entity. If the instruction we receive of 
Kings, Popes, and Preachers does not, under all condi- 
tions, give us the Meter of Truth, with which we can 
determine the natural reality of such thoughts, then 
they are of but second-class importance to us, and can 
never be sufficiently weighty to be the basis of our char- 
acter, or lead us to act the laws of the Living God! 

To the institution of New Truths, the lessons of old 
should never be a hindrance; but truth, and teachings 
of character, by our ancient forefathers, will be the 
more esteemed by accepting and spreading truths of 
eminence. 

No one can esteem the eminent character and work 
of Jesus by remaining an idolatrous and superstitious

mind, — believing that the long ago putrified blood of 
Jesus will wash away the sins of mankind endlessly on- 
ward in time! 

But every one will certainly step into a nearer rela- 
tion to such eminent a character, — if they will boldly 
defend the truth, — irrespective of fashionable lies and 
errors ! 

In true religion, and science, the compass of all in- 
terest is the recognition of consciousness as real, and the 
growth of self -consciousness — as the question of God — 
which at all times asks us for an answer of its being. 

And it is the obligation of religion to explain and 
convince, that within us there is demonstrated a Wis- 
dom of Nature equal to bring and constitute us as a 
being. This is the Spiritual Law of Mathematics — the 
real basis of God. 

Moses and Jesus stood exactly as near to God, their 
Father, as we do; — namely — by recognizing their Cre- 
ator — Who expressed their person into the to be in and 
through their own consciousness — their I. 

But one cannot know stone except by recognizing it 
— as stone, nor can any one know God except by the 
recognition of Him — as God; and it is gross selfishness 
of mind to say, that because stone is not water, I cannot 
accept its existence; neither could any reasonable mind 
say, that simply because God, the Creator, is not a 
body — person — Jesus — man — or some other kind of 
created thing, I cannot accept the existence of God as 
"real!" 

If a horse-power of electricity is physically not dem- 
onstrable, as in the manner of a barrel of beer — it does 
not prove that electricity is not a reality.

It is man's business to first clear the meaning of 
things, — and then judge their reality. 

For mankind, the basis of realities is depending on 
the disposition of the mind, to deny or acknowledge 
them ; — but in Xature it depends on God, — the natural 
Limit of Possibility — or, on the natural Plan, "Wisdom, 
and Power which expresses things — from the highest 
development of consciousness, downward to the lowest 
states of matter. A mind resting on the basis of mate- 
rial recognition — self-evidently — cannot acknowledge 
God, — for God — is that unseen Cause and destining 
power of all visible and invisible things, and must be 
known as such — the most Eminent Reality in the spirit 
of man! 

That a man knows more than an animal is not by 
reason of a man — being man, or animal — an animal, but 
is the result of the Natural Wisdom in Creation — 
Which gives powers to both. Yet, to ignore such Wis- 
dom — in preference to the powers of man or animal — ■ 
is to selfishly disregard the most eminent realities, 
which explain all lower things in Creation; and to ig- 
nore — scientifically — the life of the animal, — man, — 
or the Creative Power of the Wisdom of Xature — as 
real , means to rest upon the greatest debasement of con- 
scious life imaginable. 

That life cannot be body (matter) is self-evident; — 
that body is real as body, and life as life — is equally 
self-evident; — but to attempt to prove, or disprove, the 
reality of life from the premises of material investiga- 
tion — is to commence the proof at the wrong end I

A man investigating the body, certainly, can never 
find the life; — neither will a man exploring the Arctic 
ocean discover the Antarctic pole in his attempt. 

It is not what we think or consider real, but what is 
naturally unchangeable real. That is what the funda- 
ment of Realities — or Truth to us — is, because it is with- 
in the powers of a child to change any material thing 
to an immaterial or invisible condition. 

But it is beyond man's powers to change one iota of 
time, — space, — or motor y activities to other than what 
they are in their own realm. All that we do know, — is 
— that they are; and that they, in their endless opera- 
tions of branching, constitute all the things — visible and 
invisible — within, and outside of ourselves, in Creation. 

Iron is so much of Motion of Creation substantiated; 
or Motion associated and expressed into force, and forces 
are associated and overpolarized to the substance of 
steel. 

Whence these Motions came we cannot say any more 
than whence came Time; — it is, — and that should be 
sufficient for the mind willing to rest upon Creation's 
Fundament. Space is; — Time is; — Motion, or activity 
between quiescency and lightning-quickness, is; — Evo- 
lution is; — Love, or a tendency to association, is; — 
Wisdom of Nature, or Limit of Possibility, is; — and 
Justice, or a tendency of adjusting contrasts, is; — this 
is the basis for human reason that will stand the test 
of investigation eternally. Beyond that can no one go 
(and as proverbially known, one fool can ask more ques- 
tions than ten wise men can answer), because God does 
not answer differently.

or Natural possibility of evolution. 

Justice constitutes — the law through which that pos- 
sibility is accomplished, — the laws of contrasts are 
striving for equalization. Justice causes all motion or 
activities — and whatsoever falls into the motory realms 
or dimensions of Creation. 

The genesis of Religion consists more in teaching 
the mind how to grow and evolve the self, — (in order to 
learn to see and realize, through one's own spiritual 
powers,- which wait for germination and growth, by and 
through acts and experiences) — than in explaining, by 
information out of books of antiquity, how we assume 
Creation to have commenced. 

The noblest germs in our constitution are hindered 
by thinking the past to contain for us all information 
perfect, — and at the same time ignore the manner in 
which Creation demonstrates the first rude germination

of things and entities right now, in daily growing their 
power of comprehension. 

The following will be the actual basis of Theology, 
when mankind is told with perfect assurance, that 
space, time, motory characteristics (the hand of God) 
are real, — that evolution, and the higher principles of 
Love or association, Wisdom or natural Limit of Possi- 
bility, and Justice or the equalizing tendency of con- 
trasts are — real, and, that the human mind faces the 
entrance to these Chapters of God's Book, and read the 
pages therein! ■ \ 

God will then — not be sought as a peculiar little idio- 
syncrasy within a layer of the motory principle of the 
All, — but will be known as the Endless, Eternal, Abso- 
lute Influence, and Constituting Activity of the three 
principles of Love, Wisdom, and Justice in the highest 
eternal aspect of influence on all things. 

The temple of God will be found to rest upon the 
four walls of Time — Space — Motion — and Evolution, — 
and its dome — within the three crowning principles of 
Love — Wisdom — and Justice. 

The Gospels will be read clearly, chapter after chap- 
ter, — from Genesis to Revelation, or from the start of 
Creation to Consciousness and its innate present powers 
of now, — how the manifestations of Creation brings 
these things, — and from our present mind will we step 
upward to the realizations of future real states and evo- 
lutions that will come to us in a natural chain of growth 
of consciousness; — these are the Revelations ! 

All the chapters of the Bible of Nature, from Genesis 
to Revelation, cannot be anything but mental explana-

tions of tilings that were, are, and will be; and upon this 
ground of God — upon Nature's principal realities — the 
basis of Religion must be fundamented; and not on the 
antiquity of books — or books of antiquity. 

The greater the personal influence the greater is the 
power to spread good or evil. 

The cause of all evil is occasioned by those, who think 
to still the needs of self in preference to all others; be- 
cause Nature, or God's Will, is equally interested in 
every one. But it is satanic, when man makes special 
provisions for himself, and uses his personal power of 
influence for his own selfish advantage! 

Every moral teacher did face but one devil — he is — ■ 
selfish individual conscious entities! 

If a child must grow from ignorance to the percep- 
tion of material things, — is it not man's problem of life 
to grow from the perception of material — to spiritual 
realities? — and particularly to the distinction of good 
and evil ones? — to Nature, or God's Will — vs. — Selfish- 
ness ! 

Hell is a state or condition of ignorance, in which 
man cannot see any other solution of life's problem — 
than the selfish one. The first spark of human con- 
scious perception will tell us, that the Will of the 
Father (the Wisdom that brought us here) must cer- 
tainly know how to adjust things, — and if we know the 
way by which to obtain such knowledge — then — it is 
the absolute command by life itself, to act and follow 
God's Will! By way of actions — is the road to per- 
ceive; and if no act is done for spiritual or conscious 
administration — we cannot expect to grow. 



Theses for Human Reason. 63 

The basis of Religion is not fimdamented on the 
authority of antique thoughts, — but on God's eternal 
natural Intention; — and this is — that we grow our en- 
tity, — our consciousness, — our purest mind or spirit, — 
whichever seems to each of us best to call ourselves — 
to its purest and fullest degree of development, and to 
that which is controling in the All. It is unnatural and 
a sin to base religion upon any changeable or finite 
thing, — for never can the soul's subject be changed. 
The subject of the soul is based upon the Rock of Crea- 
tion — upon God! 

It is a drifting mind that is afraid of Heresy and 
Scepticism, — for with the mind, grasping the funda- 
ment of Religion, there can be neither! To grasp con- 
sciousness as a spiritual reality is the way to God — to 
the Father as essayed by Jesus — and on these conscious 
lines did He live and walk. 

Religion, — without planting (by aid of spiritual gifts 
of prophecy) into the human family the direct knowl- 
edge of the everlasting continuity of life, — is a failure, 
because that very knowledge is the stem around which 
human stability and character ranks; and God's Inten- 
tion is that this be done by those who are called to work 
in His vineyard. (Who possess the spiritual gifts?) 

The lesson of Causation must be given in connection 
with lessons of spirituality, otherwise — Spiritualism will 
be only a mode of worshipping personal entities (crea- 
tures in the beyond) without any tendency of improv- 
ing human morals, or growth of mind! 

The pedestal of Religion must be the knowledge of 
an everlasting life from birth — the start, — or opening 



64 Glimpses Into Nature. 

of a centre — into the circumference of realities, visible 
and invisible, in the great All. The entrance to the 
House of Religion is through a pure conscious realm — 
for when we find this entrance, — the Dome of the whole 
Creation comes into view! 

The calling to work in God's Vineyard is the result 
of perceiving and demonstrating in real natural ways 
spiritual gifts — spiritual life's truths; — and not by pos- 
sessing a selfish education, obtained through that patent- 
process — by which the praying and sliding of others 
into heaven or hell is prestoed! 

In the mad rush for luck — 
No one stops and thinks, 
Until, a baneful stroke 
The reasoning power to us brings. 

Ignorance is not necessarily evil, but selfishness is — 
and the salvation of mankind does not depend on intel- 
lectual growth, — but, by God's absolute request of each 
and every life (conscious mind) — on a proper and thor- 
ough perception of Nature; therefore give us mind, or 
spiritual knowledge, and intellect if possible — but in 
preference to all other things — we ask for spiritual 
adjustment! 

An ignorant, but good-hearted and just person is 
spiritually much greater — than an intellectual selfish 
man. 

The one — is an angel asleep — 

The other — a devil wide awake ! 

Spiritual insight to Nature takes place in the entity 
through what we may term imagination or conscious 



Theses for Human Reason. 65 

comprehensive powers, — with this difference: that imagi- 
nation by itself is a mental reality, lacking proper com- 
prehensive interpretation; — whilst spiritual seeing — is 
perception through imagination, guided by a proper 
understanding of — Nature's Limit of Possibility! 



BIBTH OF CONSCIOUSNESS. 

The birth of consciousness precludes a really active, 
natural operation — equal to express consciousness. 

Its realization includes the realizing and understand- 
ing of everything below its own state of existence in 
Creation, and will base in the mind's understanding the 
uniform laws of Cosmic Biology, including the evolution 
of suns, planets, and satellites; the formation of solids, 
semi-solids, liquids, and gases; metallic and mineralic 
formations; plant, — animal, — and human (cerebral) 
cells, and, consciousness. 

Creation demonstrates one uniform law of causation 
in all things; the differentiation of things being caused 
by a uniform process of evolution, at different states of 
condition brought to a standstill. 

But one process of causation is operative in a sun, 
plant, or animal; and at one fundament do all com- 
mence; — this is at the fundament of motion. But 
whilst a sun will forever remain as a sun in Creation, — 
the human entity — through uniform biological processes 
— is evolved equal to express consciousness. 

As soon as we consciously awaken, that soon we rec- 
ognize that we are. 

The we, Consciousness, is naturally real — but that 
which it realizes or knows is subject to diversification, 
because of the different realities entering in, or connect- 
ing to consciousness. 



Birth of Consciousness. 67 

Consciousness is a plant, — and thoughts and mean- 
ings are the elements that nourish it ; — but the qualities 
of the meanings absorbed — will subject consciousness 
to their natural influence. To illustrate : 

Consciousness thinking stone — is stone, — or subject 
to qualities of stone; 

Consciousness thinking wood — is wood, — or subject 
to qualities of wood; 

Consciousness thinking liquor (habitually drinking 
it) — is liquor, — or subject to qualities of liquor; 

Consciousness thinking money (as the object of life) 
— is money, — or subject to the influence or sway of 
money; 

Consciousness thinking ancient or modern thoughts — 
is ancient or modern, — or subject to the qualities of 
those thoughts; 

Consciousness realizing consciousness — is alive or 
awake, — and equal to the reality of its own being! 

The connection of consciousness to stone, — impresses 
it with the qualities, lastingness, and principles which 
control that stone. 

The attraction of consciousness to money, — impresses 
it with the influence, sway, rule, power, and might of 
money, and the more the conscious atmosphere becomes 
saturated with those qualities — the more will conscious- 
ness become like money, — become controlled by its 
potency, — and be deadened to living spiritual realities ! 

The connection of consciousness to consciousness as a 
living reality (which gives it its basis of existence), — 
impresses it with the lastingness, qualities, and Princi- 
ples of Creation controlling consciousness. 



68 Glimpses Into Nature. 

Material science is the result of connecting conscious- 
ness — to material things. 

Living or Conscious science is the result of connecting 
consciousness to — living conscious, or spiritual things. 
(By the word spiritual we understand Causation as well 
as the conscious living entities expressed therefrom.) 

The study of material things will make us acquainted 
with causes operating in Nature invisibly, to express 
those things (which is the basis of truth), which, when 
acknowledged and perceived, will give Material science 
as a conscious accomplishment. 

The reality is with Creation, — but the perceiving of 
it — with the mind. 

The study of conscious things will make us acquainted 
with causes operating in Nature invisibly, to express 
conscious realities or entities, which, when acknowl- 
edged and perceived, will give Conscious science, or the 
growth of consciousness — the science of Religion, as a 
conscious accomplishment. 

The science of religion can be based upon the Inten- 
tion of Creation only, and only as far as mind can deci- 
pher God's Script, can religion be properly understood. 

Religion is based principally — upon the law of human 
growth ! 

Consciousness, — when controlled by thoughts and 
meanings of ending, changeable character, — is, — 
knows, — and realizes — death ! 

Consciousness, — when controlled by thoughts and 
meanings of endless or eternal character, — is, — knows, 
— and acts according to understanding of eternal life ! 



Birth of Consciousness. 69 

Ending and changeable thoughts — enter consciousness 
through "physical impressibility;" 

Endless and eternal thoughts — enter consciousness 
through "spiritual impressibility" from the eternal real- 
ities on our entity. 

The two laws are : 

(a) Physical or sensual impressibility of influence on 
consciousness (through the physical senses). 

(b) The eternal, lasting, and guiding impressibility 
of influence on consciousness (through mental faculties, 
when mental realities are acknowledged as real). 

The growth of consciousness is naturally manifested 
through physical vehemence of sensations impressing 
the mind, — by which the perception of the principality 
of influence is resulting to our life. 

from physical vehemence of perception ~\ — transientness in Nature. 
Hence,— to V 

the principality of influence J —the eternal lasting in Nature. 

Physical perception, — if considered most important, — 
is the childhood-state of man or consciousness ! 

Principality of influence, — if perceived, and consid- 
ered most essential, — is the spiritual or mature state of 
man or consciousness! 

Man, — in reality, — is a consciousness! — not body, 
form, or physique. 

Man is consciousness, — a spirit, — the individuality 
or the I. 

The I, — or ego, — is the guide, — the way, — the life, 
and the truth ! 

I, or the consciousness, — has all power; here and 
beyond! 



70 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The I is the resurrection, — as was meant by Jesus, — 
and the real, to be resurrected ! 

Eternal Wisdom, — or the Spirit, demonstrating 
through Nature the creating of the / or human entity, 
— is the Father — or constitutes the resurrective prin- 
ciples. 

The duty of Religion to human minds, is to teach 
them the connection, — or the seeking of the connection, 
— of the J to the Father. 

Consciousness is the full reality, or entity. To be 
conscious is to know and realize within our conscious- 
ness or mind that, that which we desire to understand 
and exj:>lain is understood in the way Creation (the base 
of truth and consciousness) gives it expression, existence, 
or meaning; gives it its truth. 

^\Ve are not truthfully conscious (but consciousness is 
misdirected) when we say the Deity is God and let it 
go at that. For the letting it go "at that" is realizing 
nothing, it is hiding behind not understood meanings; 
wherefore the misdirection. 

Consciousness is awareness, and in realizing nothing 
there is no awareness — no truth. 

Consciousness in every man and woman is ; wrong, or 
misdirected consciousness often is ! God or the Creator 
Is, in Reality; equal to Cause that which Is. In God, 
mankind say they believe! If we are unaware of the 
Reality, the meaning of the word God, then is con- 
sciousness misdirected, untrue, unconscious of Him. 
Creation is the Dictionary; consciousness has to realize 
the definitions therein, and is therefore the never-failing 
pilot and guide. It is the Lord thy God when the purest 



Birth of Consciousness. 71 

innate flame of it in us is realized and lived. Conscious- 
ness is the basic reality to the mind. Truth is existence 
as the Creator establishes it. 

The I, — is the receiver; the giver — is the Father, — the 
Creative Wisdom of Nature! 

The only utility of religion in general, — is the con- 
necting of the mind to the Wisdom of Nature, or God ! 
— He does the creating and destining of things. All 
that the mind needs to do, — is to connect to that Wis- 
dom ; and not attempt to run the Plan of Creation — on 
individual speculation ! 

God, is Creative Consciousness — through all time and 
space! — Man — is but a spark of It. In His image we 
are, — because we can realize the eternal as well as the 
finite, — if we wish ! The interest of all essential knowl- 
edge — is the lastingness of the I or consciousness, and 
the fulfilling of all its responsibilities facing it by 
Nature and God. 

Growth of consciousness is the object! — the laws gov- 
erning it — are with Creation. The recognition of 
Growth of Consciousness in Nature, — God's Vineyard, 
■ — is equal to the gardener, who knows what is needed 
to grow the plant ! 

Realities are the base of truth; — their principality — 
are the compass of truth. This gives the most eternal, 
influencing, and destining reality, — the God of Crea- 
tion, — as the meter of Truth. 



CONSCIOUS HUMAN LOGIC. 

Science in its evolution has branched in the direction 
of meanings, limited to material scientifically defined 
words ; and by this method succeeded in calling religion 
a something, which belongs only to the emotional, sen- 
timental side of the human entity; and logic, or com- 
mon-sense reasoning, is limited only to the scientific 
intellect of the being. In doing so, science need pay no 
attention to religion; nor need a religious mind ever 
care about a science, that has defined words to suit its 
own limitations, and part itself thereby from religion. 
If, therefore, any man reasons religiously, — he is known 
as a sentimental man, or dreamer; but he who is a sci- 
entist need not be religious in the sense of an instructor, 
because it is not his office to know of religious com- 
mands. 

Logic, if properly grasped, means real fundamented 
reasoning, talcing Nature as a guide to reality. Logic 
never did, and never could mean, to reason within the 
limitation of physical things. All other reasoning is 
but debased human perception, because, if in ourselves 
Ave are a conscious entity, — it is but natural logic for 
us to acknowledge, that in and with Creation there are 
realities — equal to our conscious entity. That religion 
could be emotional teaching, pure and simple only, — 
who, in life's important problem, could stand upon such 
premises ! ! 

72 



Conscious Human Logic. 73 

Life is a natural reality, in. the very way that Nature 
expresses it, and must impartially, and unquestionably, 
be investigated as life, in order to comprehend the more 
minute realities, or parts constituting it, very similarly, 
as a material thing is known and investigated in a physi- 
cal study. But that ignorant human minds have based 
the realities entirely upon the manifestation of the five 
animal senses, wholly ignoring the mental faculties, and 
in this manner have turned all of life's guiding realities 
to oblivion, — does not prove that life is not real, and 
will not stand with conscious seekers the test of reason. 
If the physical body is known to be real, because it 
evokes a conscious activity within us, then, the body or 
object that impresses the mind is by no means any more 
real than the mind that receives the impression, because 
the mind and its very reality enables us to determine 
any other reality. The question, is not the life more 
than the body or its needs? was asked long ago, and is 
the very question that still awaits a natural answer and 
compliance to, of each and every mind before it can 
know of anything else. The most illogical thought that 
ever passed through human mind, is to consider things, 
seen, heard, and externally realized, as real, and base 
the logic thereof not only upon such premises, but also 
to ignore entirely that natural and real necessary part, 
that must do the realizing and recognizing of the things 
impressed; which, in truth, — is the very mind itself, 
without logic or sense ! 

It is not a question how difficult it is to seek still far- 
ther points of spiritual reasonability, but, of human 
minds basing their reason upon natural premises ! That 



74 Glimpses Into Nature. 

the Limit of Natural Possibility is necessary to express 
consciousness, and, that if those Natural and Powerful 
Conditions were not present, — the human mind would 
not be present, — is an entirely different question in 
human logic; but all mankind should know, — that an 
invisible, metaphysical mind is doing within itself the 
reasoning, weighing, and balancing of thoughts and 
meanings within us, and that the quality of thinking is 
at all times depending on the condition of that con- 
sciousness! To land at life or consciousness as the su- 
preme reality in Creation, — a man need not necessarily 
be a dreamer or illogical mysticist, for so to fundament 
his reason will be the natural and correct process of 
logic, which will eventually direct every one absolutely 
to this deduction. AVho, in misdirecting human minds 
in this world of intellects, was so clear-headed (!) as to 
prove, that the five physical senses through their sensa- 
tions, are for the purpose of basing Iruman reason? 
Why could not the fish, or the ape, — the supposed pre- 
cursor of man, — in his powers of life, bear his share in 
basing human reason? for especially the higher ones, 
have powers with some affinity to superior (thinking) 
manifestations. Life is real in the very limit in which 
Nature demonstrates it; and it is natural logic to know 
that life, per se, is real! 

Consciousness — the power of awareness, — is that 
which constitutes us; but, what we consider worthy to 
be aware of, — is a matter that Nature leaves to each in- 
dividual as a personal subject. Nature gave us as an en- 
tity, a conscious spark to which is connected a physical 
body, that must be provided for in the refinement of 



Conscious Human Logic. 75 

physical finite substances and forces, until they enter 
into a nourishing and enflaming fuel for consciousness 
with which we can know of all grades of realities, — 
solids, liquids, gases, and ethers, — motions, forces, grow- 
ing and instinctive activities in plants and animals, and 
of those conscious activities within ourselves. With con- 
sciousness we may know of any kind of the above named 
things, but, consciousness we are — even though not real- 
ized, — and to know of this important reality is logic in 
itself. 

Consciousness — the life within man, and its state of 
real wisdom, — finds the fundament of its own existence 
in Creation, in the grand Wisdom of Nature; as the 
physical body, has the basis of the laws which protect 
it, in the physical realm. No man should dare to ever 
step away from the fact of his own being, for Nature 
gives the body of man as its external manifestation, and 
its direct contact with consciousness is an incentive 
agency to interpret the external world to him. This is 
but one of the operative activities of the conscious mind; 
another is the realizing, that the grade of the conscious 
wisdom of man within, has an affinity to Nature's active 
operative greater Wisdom without, and particularly in 
the constructing of the inner entity, as well as the body. 

That Wisdom must be realized as Wisdom and not 
as anything physical its very meaning tells us ; yet, that 
is just what mankind fails to properly interpret. When 
Ave wish to describe a stone, we can very easily get, 
handle, and analyze it; and written thoughts, dealing 
with objects that can be realized through the senses, and 
furnishing with it an argumentation to prove certain 



76 Glimpses Into Nature. 

deductions or inferences, are called logic. But when 
we are spiritually or consciously awake and speak of 
"Wisdom, something is meant of too complex and meta- 
physical a character, to be ever really or actually demon- 
strated. When however a deeper conscious power of 
analysis, and perception of creative realities is enkin- 
dled in us, it will be found that the logical way for the 
scientific mind to investigate, is from the word stone — 
to its external material object; likewisely, is wisdom 
a word from which to the comprehensive realization of 
Nature's complex operative Wisdom (mathematically 
known to be needed for the demonstration of things), is 
another logical method of research! If the mind can- 
not find the stone, — it is not the fault of the writer; 
neither, if the mind does not feel inclined to spend 
enough conscious power to grasp naturally the oper- 
ative, complex power of Wisdom, — the limit of Nature's 
Possibility, — no writer can bring the subject any nearer. 
Both problems base a law of Logic, but it takes con- 
sciousness, equal to follow the path of Creation, to find 
stone as stone, and Wisdom as Wisdom; (the means, by 
which God or the Creator express things, — is the limit 
of Nature's Possibility !) . 

Moral lessons, or the subject which deals with the 
protection and growth of our highest self — conscious- 
ness, — are less a theory than science, for but little more 
of spiritual conscious patience is required to realize 
their meanings. Ultimately considered, there is an in- 
visible law operative to express any and all material 
objects from strictly immaterial realms of Creation, 
which absolutely proves, that Moral Laws, — since deal- 



Conscious Human Logic. 77 

ing with growth and protection of ourselves as the 
greatest subject to our mind, — in an eternal aspect, are 
the superior, real scientific, things to be known. Life, 
not only has the duty to interest itself about material 
(standstill) things of Creation, but, for the sake of its 
own realization, also has the office to follow principles 
and activities which constitute and express; life and 
activity grow life, while physical things grow the body ! 

Consciousness, when aware of itself and living for its 
own growth, stands in connection with causes of Crea- 
tion, similarly, as the physical senses are controlled and 
influenced by effects and appearances of Creation; but 
when a living conscious being neglects to recognize life 
as real, and uses its conscious power for the purpose of 
limiting the realities of influences that Creation brings 
to bear upon the animal senses, then, the basis of life's 
logic has been lost, and in such a state, there can be no 
power to realize causes, because the very power, given 
by Creation to fulfill this office has been ruined, and 
the lowness of influences, that man in his blindness be- 
lieves to be real, are not connected to those causes of 
Creation. We do not live, only to uncover those objects 
which impress our physical senses, but also to compre- 
hend that, which is naturally required to do the uncov- 
ering ! 

The Wisdom of Mature intends, and compels us to- 
ward a state, in which we will consciously know life as 
life, real by itself; from that state on a mind could 
expect to grasp the more eminent and minute niceties 
of Creation, inasmuch as the real operative efforts of 
thought-life within us, give us the power with which to 



78 Glimpses Into Nature. 

see the operative mighty Wisdom of Creation which 
builds us, and our entity may trust itself into a distin- 
guishing of causes in Creation. 

Is not the consciousness (life) more than the body? 

This is the question, on whose proper solution re- 
ligion hinges ! 

The very way, by which the God of Creation lays the 
realities, must be uncovered and cleared! 

There are w r orlds of words and meanings about re- 
ligion and logic ; yes, even in the states of consciousness, 
in which the realities of Creation are limited by the five 
animal senses, but none of them could ever explain or 
clear life's reality. Under such mental states life is not 
found as real! 

The Logic and Science of our present day, does not 
realize the operative Wisdom of Nature; nor can they 
grasp the wisdom with man's being. Wisdom, natu- 
rally, can be realized only there, where its manifestation 
is demonstrated, or where its effects are consciously 
impressed. 

That Nature's Wisdom, or God Who builds the brain, 
does not willfully act through it, does not alter the real- 
ity of His existence; He leaves this office to a mental, 
gravitarily centred entity! That we can see the body 
and brain of man, and never see his consciousness, does 
only help us to understand the law of Nature ; for con- 
sciousness can be realized only when it acknowledges 
the self-life — when it acknowledges consciousness as 
real, — and only then can we realize in all physical ob- 
jects, the Natural and human qualities of Wisdom dis- 
played therein. If a man declares, that he cannot real- 



Conscious Human Logic. 79 

ize Wisdom in Nature, the meaning of that thought 
would only prove, that it is not acknowledged by him 
there, where Nature presents it nearest to him, — in his 
own entity! 

The fundamental basis of Nature's Wisdom rests 
upon the premise, that as much operative Wisdom, or 
power of reality, there is needed to constitute the things 
standing to our perception, — so much Wisdom there is 
demonstrated to us. The best way to study Wisdom, is 
to consciously realize the Limit of Nature's Possibility 
under which things exist. 

There are no miracles in Creation ! ! 

The once realized fact, that consciousness has powers 
to enter into past and future, proves, that Nature's Wis- 
dom, constituting our entity, has the eternal grasp of 
time as well as space in one glance to its order, and fur- 
thermore that this power has the operative quality of 
endowing us with an isolated realization of either. 

In stone for instance, Nature presents to us an object; 
but with it there is at once a conscious realization of 
Nature's limit of presentation. To give stone as an ob- 
ject, we must see that inherent in the same there is a 
force connecting substance to substance, and the more 
closely we observe, the more will we find Nature's Logic, 
that the force is the reality, while the stone is a state or 
condition resulting therefrom. With the force rests the 
changing of the state or condition of the stone; with the 
materials — the subjectivity of being changed. 

The same process exists in Nature's external realm 
of appearance; we are to realize it in such a way first, 
before we can understand deeper realities. The mind 



80 Glimpses Into Nature. 

has the power to see the force which causes the stone, 
whilst the eye sees the physical appearance of the stone; 
but only through the proper direction of the mind's 
force, or consciousness to the eye, can the eye see, — not 
by itself alone. Metaphysical realities we must face in 
knowing of realities that control material things, as well 
as in knowing ourselves ; and an external physical stand- 
still-reality is laid by Creation only, as a directly affect- 
ing avenue of life, in order to awaken it to its own rec- 
ognition, and give from every physical avenue of per- 
ception a possibility of rightly interpreting the realities 
in the way that Creation lays them. This must clear 
to us, that with every material external thing, there 
exists an inner cause, which is greater, and directly 
necessary to bring such things into the to be. Material, 
or external realities, have their basis in earthly things 
(visible realm), whilst its cause has its basis in the real 
Wisdom of Mature, — the principal apex of which rests 
upon the Intention of Creation, — God, as the most 
supreme reality that could ever be determined! 

Other, than physical fundaments, must be cleared by 
minds seeking important truths, or directly manifestive 
and constitutive causes of their being; and God, as the 
Positive Fundament of their existence, — and the Earth, 
or other planet bearing life, will be found to be the fun- 
dament from which appearances are naturally ex- 
pressed, and influence our senses. Through God, — the 
Superior Fundament, — all the natural grades of Wis- 
dom are penetrable and reliable, and the whole modus 
operandi of Creation will eventually come to our grasp, 
since God's Wisdom is the Light that radiates, and per- 



Conscious Human Logic. 81 

tains directly to our innermost flame of consciousness, 
and enkindles our entity toward higher powers! The 
more we trust to the purer consciousness (to life!), the 
nearer steps the God of Creation to us, as the basis of 
our life, and enkindles our eternal perception accord- 
ingly; the same as our reliance on physical things, has 
made us acquainted with finite realities, and left within 
us a blank in regard to eternal subjects, of which the 
purpose of life and its destiny are the most essential 
points of consideration. This accounts for why our 
knowledge is only a confused mass of pickings, for why 
our life seems merely a striving for finite education, 
money, and self-aggrandizement! 

God's Wisdom clears to us the law of conscious logic, 
— to perceive the greatest realities, which are in every 
one their personal consciousness, — as the most essential 
and logical current of thought, and as the most eminent 
of principal realities, — the Wisdom of Nature, which 
actively has expressed, and destines those entities. Does 
not the very life of us demand — as a basis of logic (and 
the actively operative, creative, and destining Reality 
of Creation, God, — as the axiom from which we have to 
learn the proper direction and exercise of our conscious 
powers) — a greater and more worthy attention than the 
body? 

God, — the Axiomatic Wisdom of Nature, — will for 
all times be the great horizon of conscious light; and 
the scientific religious mind will verify the statement 
herein, that there is a oneness of principal intention, — 
a Plan of Wisdom operative through the whole Dome 
of Creation. The most beneficial instruction to human 



82 Glimpses Into Nature. 

life, is therefore to guide minds to the Axiomatic Wis- 
dom of Creation, and in giving proper attention to their 
life, and to the commands which the Creative Wisdom 
gives for the growth and protection of life or conscious- 
ness! 

This is proof, that religion, and the love to the Cre- 
ator — the Wisdom of Nature — is not a mere emotional, 
unreal hobby of the mind, but instead, must be realized 
as the greatest logical, and scientific clearing of living 
realities, that has ever passed human conscious attempt. 

The Command to recognize with our consciousness 
the Creative Operative Wisdom (the Father), — which 
gives and circumscribes us in every way, and is mathe- 
matically demonstrated in us to a degree as is necessary 
for our existence, and the conscious affinity (Love) to 
the Creator with all our heart, — is the hinge whereon 
balances itself character, and finds the path toward 
Light, growth, sincerity, integrity, and purity of char- 
acter; or, if neglected, enters the path toward darkness 
and error. According to the exercised degree of affinity 
to the Creator — the very character of either man or 
woman is based; and right in this meaning, there is 
consciously generated and grown all essential truth, 
guidance, purity, and oneness of purpose. All branches 
of instruction, if in their higher direction they do not 
have the most supreme affinity in thought and act to- 
ward the Creator, will change, in fact, they carry the 
seed of change and death right in their very constitu- 
tion! 

By the word Creator, there is not meant a born and 
deceased individual or any other idol, but the operative 



Conscious Human Logic. 83 

and destining Wisdom which brought us and everything 
else into the to be, the way it is. 

From consciousness, as a scientifically known and 
acknowledged reality in its own natural state of presen- 
tation, all logical thoughts find their basis in the Cre- 
ative Wisdom of Nature, and our most essential con- 
scious duty rests in facing the Creator and living His 
Commands. When consciousness finds its basis, it will 
have found the fundament upon which it rests; and since 
consciousness in us is that, which we are — Creative Con- 
sciousness is that, upon which we rest. From conscious- 
ness as our being, when we are aware of this fact, 
upward to become aware of the operative Natural Wis- 
dom, which keeps and destines us, is the way of life and 
all truth that could ever be uncovered! 

Consciousness in itself has but one light, — God's Spir- 
itual Light of Wisdom, — as its penetrative spiritual ele- 
ment; the same as the external realm has a central 
light, — the sun, — from where the material realm is un- 
covered, and growth and evolution in the Solar System 
is made possible. God's Light, when sought and fol- 
lowed, will answer any and all questions and opaque 
subjects that appear to our mind; but the less It is fol- 
lowed, the greater will be the darkness and ignorance 
in our mind ! 

The first practical question presenting itself to our 
mind when perceiving the Eternal Light, which gives 
our life, is the duties that stand to our existence in 
order to fulfill the laws of conscious growth. They are 
the duties that are the logical command standing to all 
human Nature alike. As a result of acting the duties 



84. Glimpses Into Nature. 

of our life, we will step nearer toward the eternal axio- 
matic principles and bestir ourselves therein. 

The eternal Plan of God, after our conscious duties 
are fulfilled, allows the entrance to eternal realization, 
where we can observe what realities of Creation are 
eternal, and which are finite ; and what parts of and in 
ourselves are eternal, and which are finite or ending; 
then we do read that our highest conscious flame is eter- 
nally constituted, and connects therefore to the lasting 
and unchangeable realities which are. The purer this 
conscious flame clears itself from finite affinities, the 
farther it will look backward and forward into space and 
time, irrespective of in what century of time it has been 
germinated upon the earthly acre of condition and evo- 
lution. We will see that minds germinate at ever-vary- 
ing times, but in one eternal realm of life they are to 
dwell and prosper; the same as one grain of corn falls 
to the ground sooner or later than others, but in the 
course of growth it ripens at one harvesting. 

From the eternal constitution of our consciousness we 
will see, that the most interesting realities are not mate- 
rially appearing things as plants and animals, but, with 
the exception of God, other human entities, being eter- 
nally related to us as brothers and sisters, and equally 
qualified to harm or benefit each other. Is it then not 
fundamental logic to act and deal, in a perfect conscious 
adjustment, with each other; as we can realize in what 
we desire from others for our own welfare and peace? 
This is the fulfilling of the Law of Brotherly Love, 
which allows the growth of others to the best they can 
see their path of life, and command respect for each 



Conscious Human Logic. 85 

other, and which tell them that it is the Voice of God 
that is guiding ns. Any wrong we suffer by others, 
under conditions of a perfect righteous adjustment on 
our own part toward them, proves only, that they act 
still under a low and selfish command; and no. feelings 
of revenge dare we harbor, for that would lower us to 
their own level of conduct, and, the same as they, we 
would spiritually have to suffer the same result of evil 
action, which must be adjusted in the consciously eter- 
nal life! As soon as the folly to act otherwise is seen, 
every one will act the Golden Rule or God's Law. Every 
good act is God's Will acted upon; and no one accom- 
plishes good, but what a spiritual protection to his en- 
tity is resulting therefrom. Acts, are eternal seeds for 
conscious entities; and a bad act is sowing evil seeds on 
eternal conscious ground, and an evil harvest must gen- 
erate therefrom, for every evil act demands perfect 
adjustment from the soul-part of our life. 

To every conscious life there stands one supreme 
command — the natural and eternal protection of our 
eternally qualified consciousness — and the very utility 
of conscious life directs and compels its obedience; and 
in the limit of our conscious comprehension we are made 
aware of it. This limit directs us to act either, to pro- 
tect our body, — illogically thinking it, at the start of 
life, to be the most real part of us, — which directs our 
conscious faith toward the animal senses, and landing us 
in pain, and general physical and spiritual suffering, 
which causes us to think, and to become aware of our 
life as real, and learn its commands ; — or, we are willing 
to reason at the start of life, and by so doing learn the 



86 Glimpses Into Nature. 

lesson of its reality, and recognize its demands on us, 
and then act in accordance with life's finite and eternal 
commands. 

Since life in itself guides the body, and comprehends 
and realizes the things which are, it calls on our con- 
scious power to acknowledge and study it, more than 
the body. 

The very scale of human logic must balance its needle 
on this point; then the condition in which life is ac- 
knowledged and followed as a principal reality, stand- 
ing to us by Creation, perception, and operative wisdom 
in Nature, is a spiritual gravitary result in our entity, 
and bases our perception of things on eternal axioms. 
The rejection of consciousness as the 7, and the Creative 
Conscious Wisdom as the basis of our life, as real, crip- 
ples the highest purpose of our life, and directs us en- 
tirely into realities of changeable and bewildering reali- 
ties. The question to all entities is this : 

Is the life more than the body? and the logic of 
human reason will be directed from the point every 
individual decides this question. 

From what point of view does our reader decide this 
question ? 



PART II. 



CONSTRUCTIVE PRINCIPLES OF CREATION. 

The Wisdom of Nature, or God, demonstrates really 
all things right to our view, and all that we need to do, 
is to observe, and determine the limit in which they 
can be, or naturally are, expressed. Creation's con- 
structive processes, in the lowest state of existence, are 
caused in the most simple modes, and then, branch grad- 
ually into complexities of expression, far superior to our 
present limited powers of comprehension; — yet, so far 
as we have power of insight to Nature, we will attempt 
to define them in language. 

To construct, to express in form, or to make appear, 
there are naturally two distinct realities required; these 
are, first, forces — as purely active agencies, — and sec- 
ond, substance or matter, and the generation of either, 
we explain to take place, out of Creative Motion in its 
different states of condition. 

Forces, or active realities, are in their Nature, never 
materially discernible, because materialization comes 
about only by standstill, or quiescency of creative mo- 
tions, which is, in other words, but an overpolarization 
of activity into standstill, by superior vehemence of 
power. We therefore term matter, or atoms of matter, 
— Putrefied Motion — and activity, which influences 
such matter directly, — Associated Motion or force. 

Force, is therefore that real invisible ground, upon 
which all matter dwells; and every material thing and 

87 



S8 Glimpses Into Nature. 

quality depends on the uniform laivs of that invisible 
constituting force, which expresses, directs, and controls 
that matter. 

We find in the celebrated sentence by Kirchiioff 
(The relation between the power of emission and the 
power of absorption of one and the same class of rays, 
is the same for all bodies at the same temperature) the 
law that temperature is the controlling reality for all 
bodies alike. 

Also, in the law of Kepler, (That the squares of the 
periodic times of the planets are proportional to the cubes 
of their major axis, or of their mean distances) we find 
that the distance the planets traversed, after their lib- 
eration from the sun, is the controlling reality of their 
evolved speed. 

Likewise, can we base also, the law of absorption 
and transmission of motion by water, on the same 
ground of Creation's invisible realities. Namely, will 
the absorption and transmission of motion be controlled 
at all times by the degree of fluidity of liquid bodies. 

The controlling reality that KirchhofT, in the emis- 
sion and absorption of light, has named temperature, 
we can term, in liquid bodies, fluidity. This law will 
eventually settle the dispute as to the cause of the tides, 
as well as the retarding influence of water on the planets' 
rotary axis motion. 

Light, is a motory reality per se, and only in the 
limit in which it over polarizes forces of material sub- 
stance, is its appearance as "light" possible to our senses, 
and centralized and absorbed in substances, the refrac- 
tion of which we then term "color." 



Constructive Principles of Creation. 89 

Temperature, is in our realm of perception, only the 
solidifying and dissolving agent of materials, and it is 
therefore but self-evident, that in their different states, 
all materials are subject to the influence of temperature. 

All deeper investigation of Nature proves, that 
everything real and objective to our physical senses, 
has an immaterial, more essential reality for its natural 
productive and protecting agent. So is there for all 
materials, their qualities, conditions, forms and uses, in 
a natural sense, a realm of constructive, active, prin- 
cipal realities in Creation; and to perceive their con- 
structive modus operandi it is necessary to see not only 
with the eye, that which is caused, but also to see with 
the spirit that which causes; and as no wide-awake rea- 
soner will for a moment doubt the self-evident natural 
laws, uncovered by scientific minds, so will also no sane 
man have a cause to doubt the real active causation of 
things, which are. 

Alongside of the law that the emission and absorp- 
tion of light is the same at the same temperature, we 
can place another, which, because the subject of what, 
where, and who God is, is directly included in it, will 
for all time base human character. 

Equal to the quality of Wisdom, Power, and Might, 
demonstrated in and with the things surrounding us, is 
Wisdom transmitted and naturally absorbed into our 
realm of life; and it makes at no time any difference 
whether this law is applied to powers and qualities either 
within or outside of human beings, — since Nature is 
one whole — this law acts unexceptionably. 



90 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The greatest ignoramus therefore is he, who excludes 
Nature's real operative means, and acknowledges man's 
power only; for he is equal to the man who would 
choose candle, gas, electric, or any other artificial light, 
in preference to the light of the sun, which grows and 
nourishes all physical things to our best. 

Operative active means, or realities of Creation, must 
be studied purely as such only, for he is foolish indeed 
who would attempt to find them as material substance, 
or any other sense-affecting objective thing. 

The very impress on the senses is but an awakening 
process of Nature, to bring life to realize itself as life, 
and not only as body ! 

What are then all the activities of our senses? — 
Strictly, pure immaterialities ! 

But the motion of these activities more or less influ- 
ences material things, which are but a standstill state 
of activities. 

Light is a realm of activities that transmits all ab- 
sorbed qualities with itself, and includes therefore all 
material qualities and essences by which it is affected in 
its causation. 

Sound is similarly an activity that stands to our per- 
ception on a lower realm of motion. 

So is life a higher center of an active reality, which 
carries with itself all qualities and materials previously 
absorbed. Therefore it comes that life carries Wisdom 
• — because such mental seeds come to the mind in dif- 
ferent states of human life, which cause the destining 
qualities of Creation with itself. So is likewisely the 
constructive and expressive quality of Nature or God's 
plan transmitted through consciousness equal to the 



Constructive Principles of Creation. 91 

degree of mental clearness and power in such lines. 
Within these constructive powers of the human mind 
are also included the methods of Nature's process of 
construction. The modus operandi of Creation is the 
only study of Cosmogony, and only within the Wisdom 
of Nature, what it requests of life as a part of Nature, 
within that realm only can we study it ! 

Science without God is empty straw! 

Instruction, without teaching pure and human quali- 
ties of character , is Anarchism. 

The ignorant ones, praying intuitively to idols or 
personal scheme-religion, believing them to be real, do 
no more transgress the law of life, than the instructed, 
intellectually schooled ones, who consciously ignore Cod 
of Nature. Of the two, I would rather esteem the one, 
who ignorantly and intuitively prays to idols as Cod, be- 
lieving that there is an Operative Cause that brought us 
here, than the one who claims to be instructed in worldly 
knowledge, and bases life upon the animal sense-impres- 
sion of the world. To intuitively realize as real, — is the 
ground of life at the birth of our conscious J, but to 
ignore life's problem offhand, before one is sufficiently 
strong to fathom the subject, is to selfishly disconnect 
the mind from the supreme destining realities, within 
which lies the thread of our life ! Between dead science 
and idolatrous religion, flows the Oulf of Life, and we 
will have to learn to distinguish the compass that will 
guide us to the harbor of Safety. The constructive 
principles of Creation must tell us that the G-od, Who 
manifests Himself through Nature now and at all times, 
is above all idols, persons, and images ! 

To Him let us turn in prayer now and forever. 



LIFE AND THE ALL. 

The universal object of nature is growth of conscious- 
ness: 

Although people may close their eyes to Nature's 
intention, and live and sleep without any object for 
their mind's welfare, it still lies within the very nature 
of things to strive for a certain limit of conditions at 
which their entrance into a new sphere of environment 
is allowed. What nature intends with solids, liquids 
and atmosphere, although seemingly of some impor- 
tance to us, is nevertheless but an introduction to the 
real problem we face and, which we may decipher upon 
the nature of things. Whoever can open his living 
eyes and look upon his own self will find that Nature 
strives for something within his personality. What do 
we understand by Nature strives f We find that within 
plants there is a plan of evolution laid out from the 
seed to the blossom and from the flower to the fruit. 
Just- so there lies a plan or Design of Nature within 
ourselves. It is not only materially that our body is 
to grow and ripen or decay. Oh, no ! This, although 
a fact, is not the final intention of Nature with us. There 
is a mind, a consciousness in us, and everything from 
our very childhood on does stand in contrast to this 
our living entity. It is this contrast which draws out 
the different faculties of the mind as well as those of 
the senses of the body. Slowly does the mind germi- 

92 



Life and the All. 93 

nate upward until it becomes enabled to take care of the 
body, and onward still more does nature drive it. From 
that state on whence we can take care of our body, the 
mind experiences sadness, and pain is driving us on to 
consider the protection of our really living part, our 
conscious state of happiness or grief. Our mind natur- 
ally feels attached to friends and relatives, but death 
calls them one after another beyond our physical plane 
of recognition, and the question arises what life is to 
be after the body becomes detached from our conscious- 
ness. The more success we meet in our worldly conten- 
tions the more failures are awaiting us in our eternal 
road of life, Misdirected efforts, sad experiences, and 
pain are conscious objects that draw life to a wider 
circumspection and to a grander comprehension. How 
do we cognize the fact that the body with its senses 
and organic actions, real and vehemently impressing us, 
is only a part but not the whole of man? The point 
clears itself, when we consider that it is not the body 
we are seeking but the spirit or consciousness which 
makes that body alive. We are aware of the fact that 
the body has organs through which it is laid bare and 
brought to our view ; but it is self -evidently in the very 
nature of things understood that an eye cannot lay bare 
consciousness, a spiritual entity. To do that another 
more complex life-activity is needed, and reliance upon 
our spiritual — reasoning — and intuitive faculties is 
called for. That Nature does not uncover things but 
what activities in the mind through organic activities 
in the body are operatively manifesting them to us, will 
be known as soon as we awaken to certain life-facts. 



94 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The Logic of Science, telling us that we cannot study 
things but those which stand as sensational objects to 
us, will have to undergo some changes in her laws. 
Nature operates a consciousness all the time through 
conscious activities whether this fact is known or not, 
liked or disliked, will never make any difference. 
Nature manifests physical things through physical or- 
gans and activities. That she plants and evolves in us 
faculties in the consciousness, which will uncover Her 
eternal plan as well as the wisdom of Her God, is by the 
present physically limited school quite forgotten. For 
the selfish assumptive power of human minds has so 
far forgotten the fact of the utility of conscious life, 
as to reason an eternal plan is not in or with creation. 
In no branch of creation does anything come by itself. 
It takes a power equal to produce a thing in every 
branch of human knowledge, and only with nature 
things appear to come by themselves. Because of the 
fact that the AVisdom of Nature does not appear as an 
impressible object to our animal senses, it is concluded 
that it does not exist. Some day we will see that what- 
ever is, is here by a causal power w T hich has operative 
means to bring that thing. That any and all powers 
even the most rudimentary ones cannot be seen does 
not change the proposition at all. (That) the powers 
which express a thing contain and really demonstrate 
all qualities of active powers which are required to bring 
forth such a thing. But consciousness must be awak- 
ened in us, we must become alive ! Thinking is not a 
process of any mysterious character, but in its real 
sphere of recognition, is an operation of things in the 



Life and the All. 95 

consciousness; whilst with the physical senses we recog- 
nize things, in the limit of material manifestation, 
which impress our consciousness through the aid of such 
organs. We will have to step into a realm where we 
see through thought, just the same as we stepped into a 
realm where we see through the eye. We do not step 
into one or the other realm because we do or do not 
want to, but because Nature's Wisdom is pressing us 
into it. We can and may live playing day by day, we 
may work or sleep without any reflection whatever, or 
we may close our eyes to any future time, but this will 
not alter at all the natural design in or with us; a man 
can never sink below the state of thinking, any more 
than to assume that he can shape things, or did destine 
his own life. We have free will to think in many direc- 
tions below the human, but we have no will in the 
eternal destiny of our life. God's Wisdom, as much 
as it is ignored and laughed at, will prove its reality 
when we least expect it. The body we can and do con- 
trol with our mind as we control every particular part 
of it, but we cannot control our mind except only, in 
the limit in which we live to act God's Commands that 
stand to us through the body. Simply because we have 
been given eyes by which, in the very Wisdom of Na- 
ture, to realize external things, and for which fact to ig- 
nore the growth of consciousness and say that life is not 
real, will prove a dead state of man's mind. Nature 
wants to grow and evolve that which is not yet evolved; 
and we will act in accord with Nature's or God's inten- 
tion, when we will read the utility of nature in our 
own entity. That we are is not our fault, and that we 



96 Glimpses Into Nature. 

are to live as a consciousness, as the same personality in 
time to come, is neither our fault. We should leave 
these subjects to be decided all the time with Nature's 
or God's Wisdom. When our consciousness is in a state 
of mind that follows Nature's Commands, we will know 
what God intends with us, but until then all our think- 
ing will be nothing more than an isolated little part of 
a light which will be extinguished by the vastly superior 
One of God. Our mind is nourished from God's Light ! 
Consciousness may commence to reason from the phys- 
ical prospect of things, but this will never be the reality 
in nature. Only in the limit of Nature's Possibilities 
can we read what is to be and what we will be, but this 
limit can be determined only from the very mathe- 
matics of nature which is the Wisdom of God. Con- 
sciousness stands to God as the body stands to the ex- 
ternal material world; but when consciousness in its rea- 
soning is subjected by material objects to physical in- 
fluences, how then can a proper perception of Nature's 
Intentions be realized ? We are to cognize not because 
we want to, but because we have been given channels 
to do it with. But we are not to limit the fields of cog- 
nition ! This is not our office of life. Who would con- 
sider it reason to determine with the eye what the ear 
can hear; who would determine with the taste what the 
fingers can feel? This is where man is dislocated in 
his reason ! Whatever is felt or realized within the 
material world is real in that sphere of Nature, but it 
has no authority over realities that stand as spiritual 
or mental things to us. What the eye can detennine 
has no authority in the sphere of, where and how to per- 



Life and the All. 97 

ceive God's "Wisdom. Or, perhaps, is the wisdom not 
in existence because, an upon-an-eye-based-mind asserts 
it so ? Conscious and spiritual faculties will answer of 
themselves as to what is within the realm which in- 
fluences our entity or I-part. The very office of the 
different faculties and senses will have to be laid bare. 
It is right in accord with fundamental reason, that 
every faculty or sense, uncovers realities in its own 
sphere of presentation. If a man would have no sense 
with which to realize wisdom, then, he could also never 
determine even the very law of gravitation, or any other 
invisible yet real thing. We will have to awaken and 
realize spiritual or conscious things there, where they 
are presented to us; as we have to realize material 
things there, where we meet them. Powers of interior 
character, planted into us as memorizing and intuitive 
faculties will have to be taken as real, and much more 
eminently so, than an eye could ever be ; yet, intuition, 
and uncovering of past time through memory, is not to 
uncover, and can never have anything to do with physi- 
cal objects, because, past time, considered in the mate- 
rial sense of understanding, is no longer present, but 
there is coming a time when we can spiritually see that 
the past is equally real (present) with the future. 
Eternity will come before our spiritual view as clear, as 
the edge of present time is real now. But only one ob- 
ject, at one time, will be realized, and not all Things 
at once. In consciousness and conscious powers it is 
where our destiny lies. The whole earth contains no 
better and nobler service for us, than to learn thereon 
the protection of our physical body, in order to germi- 



98 Glimpses Into Nature. 

nate consciousness higher, and evolve new conscious 
germs. Earth-life in general, now seems to be carried 
on, or looked upon, as a plaything. The conscious life 
is left dormant, and the physical senses are held as the 
limit of the active agencies of Creation. During the 
awakening process of our mind Nature's Wisdom hides 
the superior realities from our view for the purpose of 
strengthening our powers, until we can bear the realiz- 
ing of higher and deeper facts. These natural processes 
are held, by the narrow-sighted, to be the means by 
which to limit creation's realities. 

Where does life come in at, with a man living still 
based upon a dead realm of thought '? What will make 
us see our destiny? — The principally instructive lines 
of a human Religion of Life ! 

Social-Science ! Medical- or Health-Science ! are now 
the spreaders of death and destruction — (Nothing- 
ness). 

God of Nature lost, — everything lost ! 

This should be the thought controlling us. We can 
lose consciously, all kinds of things, material or imma- 
terial; but we cannot afford to lose our fundament, from 
whence we receive all guidance of life. Some few can 
live blind and be guided by those who can see, but not 
all can live blind, and only a few may be made to see. 
Consciously, all mankind is living blind, darkened to 
God's Wisdom which enlightens all creation. This 
Wisdom is not seen and realized by any of our exterior 
senses, yet, without it, all is lost for us. We do not 
know what science is for ; we do not know what religion 
is for, and we certainly do not know what Life is for. 



Life and the All. 99 

The whole creation is chaos to us ! Acts and thoughts 
are now seen only in the light of animal perception. 

When will Light enter into our minds ? 

Shall chaos be the rule of our conduct; or shall God 
— the Wisdom of Nature, and His Intentions guide us 
upward and onward in our path ? As the external, ma- 
terial sciences, are generally the spreaders of chaos, 
and of materialistic studies of things, we will now give 
in the following lessons, some points, regarding Astron- 
omy, or the evolution of Planets, and their office in 
nature. God's Wisdom is to Man's Being, precisely 
what the Plan of Nature is to the Planets. Although 
externally reigns chaos, and seemingly no control of 
order is manifested, yet, as soon as we turn our atten- 
tion toward the within of Nature's Secrets, this ever 
controlling and guiding power, which balances the con- 
trasts to a perfect equilibrium, is brought to our spirit- 
ual perception. As it is necessary, in so eminently im- 
portant a subject, to give points of demonstration re- 
garding the evolution of planets by nature, we will con- 
fine ourselves strictly to the material sphere-formation, 
and whatever influences the rudimentary state of the 
planet. 

We are given to errors; but it is God's Wisdom, that 
he who cannot entirely overlook, the realms of mate- 
rially invisible activities, is not competent to uncover 
the points of stronghold, which cannot be seen by physi- 
cal eyes. 

In the limit in which mathematics will allow us to 
base our figures, we are positively correct; but only so 
far, of course, as the figures we have had at our dispo- 
sition may (not) change in nature. As powerful wit-

nesses as the material school lias for its scheme of the 
elliptical orbit of planets, which is, that the orbit of a 
planet runs in a varying line of circular nights, the very 
gravitary limit of possibility will never allow this, and 
the very nature of possibility must tell us in the end, 
that the eyes with all the telescopes, are subject to er- 
ror, in a changeable refraction of light, and the spirit 
must send his light to finally uncover the reality ! The 
principles of nature, which express a body (Sun or 
planet) are not known, and as real as the gravitary force 
may be, it is only the servant-force in the end, and the 
circumferencing force of suns and planets, not at all yet 
recognized, will answer for any and all expressions of 
evolution of suns, planets and satellites therefrom. 
Every day we see clouds, but that they lie upon the 
layers of circumferencing force, and generally passing 
our heads in an even height from the earth's center, is 
not considered worth notice. The mind of man will 
have to grasp the forces of Xature, mathematically 
operative, to express a body in a realm of free force-in- 
fluences, and protect it, when it will know, that, the 
association in itself will be the gravitary force, and that 
the circumferencing force will be the greater of the 
two. The constitution of a sun or a planet is depending, 
for the most part, upon the circumferencing force, as 
we see illustrated in a drop of water, when the encircling 
sphere of water need only be touched, and the drop dis- 
solves, because it is the outer or circumferencing force 
which holds it to a sphere, while the centralizing or 
center-seeking force is the agent of association. 

With these remarks we will ask the patient student 
to follow us unbiasedlv, and see for himself. 



ULTIMATE REALITIES. 

Ultimate realities, we term those existing things that, 
will prove their natural basis of being, irrespective of 
what may take place with them. All things we see 
before our view are real, and every sense within the 
human body, as a possession of the animal constitution, 
every such sense or thing is real in its own sphere of 
existence, but it cannot be termed an ultimate reality, 
since it is changeable and transient in its own state. 
Since the conscious powers within human individuals 
have not based their fundaments of perception clearly 
upon that which is absolutely lasting, different objects 
have been taught to be of eternal character, whilst in 
reality, they are the very basis of change. Modern sci- 
ence claims that matter and substance are eternal, and 
co-existing with all motions, but the fact is that no mat- 
ter is in existence that cannot be dissolved by purely 
motory realities or activities, and whatever is related 
to it. A very high temperature will dissolve every par- 
ticle of matter into at least a gaseous state, and activity 
will dissolve the gaseous and cause it to enter into pure 
self-activity. Matter or substance is by ultimate analy- 
sis, associated putrefied motion; and matter is a con- 
dition that can be dissolved and redissolved into its 
original state of .activity, by passing it backward through 
its road of evolution. So' stands the subject of Nature; 
whether a man bases his fundament of reason upon the 

101 



102 Glimpses Into Nature. 

principle a thing may have in Nature, or upon the ani- 
mal impressibility of influence. But the logical mate- 
rial scientist could never allow such thoughts to enter 
his mind, as the very edge at which an ultimate activity 
enters into physical appearance, as matter, is also the 
very edge from whence he starts to base his reason. 
The mind who thinks that his senses are here only for 
the express purpose to let them guide and base his rea- 
son, instead of letting his reason guide his senses, lives 
under the influence of matter, as being essentially 
necessary to base life. A mind that knows God, 
Cause, Plan, and Wisdom, as preniinently superior; 
who naturally conceives Gocl as real in the limit in 
which He is standing to our conscious perception, to 
him the reasoning fundament will rest upon eternal 
premises, and the material world will be a limited 
part of the great All. In science, philosophy, and 
religion, precisely the same basis of reason must be 
founded, viz. : to know the superior or guiding principal 
things, and to know the different branches and parts, 
variously limited within the same, as being isolated por- 
tions thereof. An ultimate reality will stand her 
ground against any and all natural changes. A finite 
reality will be a part-appearance wuthin the realm of 
one or all ultimate realities. What do we call ultimate 
realities ? Matter and time for instance; what are they? 
Matter is real; so is time. The basis and condition of 
matter is mathematically determined in the layers of 
time-influence; even in the very sciences of to-day. 
Science has discovered that the influence of time upon 
a material condition is a more reliable and trustworthy 



Ultimate Realities. 103 

agent of truth, than the assumed-tobe-real thoughts of 
old have been; for time is an ultimate reality; while 
matter is changed and influenced by the action of the 
same. The very existence of matter is proof of its sub- 
jectivity to ultimate realities; and it is a gross error in 
itself to assume matter, as having anything to do with 
the eternal realities of things. The shallow scientist is 
of course more easily understood, and his thought more 
easily grasped, and will therefore have the easy-going 
masses in his favor; but the man seeking for truth, 
irrespective of fashion, and only for the sake of truth 
itself, must open the eyes of his consciousness to see 
that as far as time is away from materiality, just so far 
is aboriginal creative motion from being substance or 
matter itself. Every material thing can be resolved 
into its ultimate realm of existence, which is constituted 
out of the realm of activity. The activities in this realm 
Ave term the motory realities of Creation, which exist 
uncreated between the poles of lightning-speed and qui- 
escency; but this activity of Creation is exactly as far 
from the sense-perception of an animal, as the realities 
of time. Activity of Creation we term the ultimate real- 
ity, and from this basis must the student of Creation 
follow onward. As a child just awakening to life — it 
is well to study the things which stand in contrast to 
the senses of his animality within him; it is however 
never worthy of the mature human consciousness to 
spend the energies of their mind for the sole purpose of 
studying material finite realities, without ever to 
awaken to the perception of things in the real world, 
per se. The ticking of a watch is a materialization of 



104 Glimpses Into Nature 

time, substantiated to us; but with Nature, and espe- 
cially with consciousness, time stands as an eternally 
ultimate thing. So is substance or matter something 
that represents to us a material starting-point of percep- 
tion in the most direct way, whilst its root, the ultimate 
eternal reality, Creative activity, is hidden within and 
above that, which we perceive in the perishable realm. 
The plan of Nature is laid out to awaken or grow a small 
germ of consciousness, from the most confined centred 
realm of perception, upward to the realization of the 
eternal and ultimate real state. That every mind can 
find an endless increase within every realm of existence 
is self-evident, and any man, being interested wholly in 
material things, might study a life-time without ever 
knowing any very great amount, in his particular field 
of knowledge, of what could be known therein. But 
with all the knowledge of this lower realm, there may 
be an almost entire ignorance of the more eminent and 
ultimate realities. This is the state of condition of the 
material, logically defined, science. Everything is de- 
termined from the state as to how much influence it has, 
directly perceptible to the animal senses. 

The seven great ultimate realities of Creation (prin- 
ciples) are: 

Time; space; motion; evolution; association or Love; 
Wisdom, or natural limit of possibility; and Justice, or 
tendency of equalization or adjustment. 

All these things are known to science; but they are 
considered as only second-class realities, in fact, as 
myths or nothings, because, they do not influence the 
animal part of man's being in a direct way. Things are 



Ultimate Realities. 105 

as they are; but limited minds have not seen fit to ac- 
knowledge as real, anything existing above the animal 
power of perception; and the process of Creation there- 
fore has been a blank book, empty of meanings; only 
the paper and binding being there. A mind that cannot 
follow motions and activities in Creation, and not even 
can acknowledge them as real, will never understand 
how ultimate eternal realities can control finite changes. 
The Wisdom of Nature, as near as it stands to us, exam- 
ines our spirit daily to see if we are deciphering the first 
lessons of life, which are, to know things as real in their 
limit of presentation. It is but natural for man or beast 
to recognize material things as real, but that will never 
characterize mature consciousness. The dignity of 
consciousness is now generally spent to show our fellow- 
men what we assume to know; this, it would be better 
to turn toward discerning the real, from the chaff. It 
is a wise providing in this world, that life bears the 
necessity of life to us; the body as body; God as the 
Creator; and the things visible and invisible, bear the 
relation of things created, to the Creator; for it is in 
the very state of natural affairs to call for balanced char- 
acter within, before we can perceive things balanced 
without. 

Activity of Creation pressed by a superior activity 
into a standstill-state, will give substance or, activity 
centred to a standstill (focus). It is this quiescent state 
of original motion which gives the spirit in its germinat- 
ing state, a hold to perceive the things which are there. 
Whoever feels disposed to base his mind upon the pre- 
mise that changeable matter is eternal in itself, will 



106 Glimpses Into Nature. 

have to learn to arouse himself from his vagary. In the 
ultimate will everything he traceable back toward a 
strictly immaterial state, as immaterial as consciousness 
— life in itself. Xothing can hold the ground of reality 
more than consciousness, and the plan of Creation, or 
God; and the ultimate realities which are in themselves 
co-eternal, but not to be known as co-principally-equal 
with Nature's Wisdom. They are but the handmaids 
of God. The power lacking in man is patience, to wait 
spiritually for the impressions which ultimate realities 
must have upon consciousness, yet, all the time we play 
only with animal-feelings, while in reality the spirit is 
longing to be awakened. God of Mature evolves thought 
and feeling in the animal body, and the conscious life in 
the state of its childhood, has certainly ample time in 
the material world, to learn how to protect its body; 
but for a man to throw all his time into scientific inves- 
tigation of non-essential materiality, and let the spirit- 
ual awakening lie dead and dormant, will and does 
have its constant effect upon all human life. Minds, 
that altogether disregard life and consciousness, and 
cannot control the most childish influence of anger, 
who often allow life to be controlled by despicable 
habits, are the guides and stars within the legal, the- 
ological, and scientific mental realm. Bulldogs of 
minds, with the greatest combative powers imaginable, 
and who give us a mental demonstration of their com- 
bativeness. by fighting their way through national affairs 
to attain a political position, are standing at the helmet 
of nations to crush every weaker one, and bow and imi- 
tate each stronger one. War is therefore the normal 



Ultimate Realities. 107 

state, and only the financial limit of means hinders a 
constant warfare and selfish mind-subjugation. Men, 
who as children desired to lead a peaceful life, are 
schooled in a miracle god of book-origin, and by author- 
ity of their patented god, turn other men to heaven or 
hell, irrespective of what Nature's Wisdom intends and 
evolves within them. It therefore conies to pass that 
the character of mankind is as changeable and revenge- 
ful, as their book-god is taught to be revengeful. We 
will not say that these things are not, or were not neces- 
sary, for they are and must be in the very plan of the 
Wisdom of Nature; but they are not necessary when- 
ever mankind will awaken to grasp God's Intention; not 
selfish human intentions only, which are spreading upon 
the selfish conscious realm just as readily, as the animal 
desires are spreading from the peaceful herbivora to the 
destructive carnivorous animal. In the conscious realm 
are minds with affinity to the ultimate realities and God, 
and affinity to changeable and material things only, as 
there are minds with a peaceful harmonious disposition, 
and a ferocious and destructive one. The great trouble 
is that the tigers and lions are there, where they can do 
the most harm, and the peaceful minds, by their very 
nature of meekness, are there where they are the most 
ignored and forgotten. It is the peace-loving, silent, 
patient animal that can be of the most use to mankind, 
and so is the patient, peacefully enduring consciousness 
the transmitter of God's lessons on earth, because the 
changeable and ferocious mind cannot wait and endure, 
it has to act and compel others of different mind to the 
utmost limit of its power. To speak comparatively, a 



108 Glimpses Into Nature. 

horse or a dog will become better acquainted with the 
conscious mind of man, than a lion could; so will a quiet, 
human, patiently enduring mind, become acquainted 
with the most eternal ultimate realities, within which is 
contained, life, its lastingness, its eternal co-existing 
realities, and causal powers. Xo conscious man can live 
without taking some of these eternal realities into his 
being and live for them, neither can a lion live without 
taking in ultimately the experiencing of man's desire 
in regard to his life. A deep truth will therefore never 
be within a mind which is selfishly hunting for endless 
gain, without ever a thought of demanding an absolutely 
equal right of life for his neighbor. Whatever the men- 
tal direction of the great number of men may be, has 
nothing at all to do with any one single person. The 
great number will forever serve their changeable animal 
nature within themselves, but that does not say that the 
student of eternal realities should do the same. Man's 
highest object of life forever should be, how to draw 
such knowledge upon the earth-realm, as is within the 
plan of Xature's AVisdom, and the limit in which this 
can be attained, is to object making a living on a selfish 
and unjust basis. The very mind within, should con- 
scientiously abhor to hunt endlessly for material gain, 
which shines and attracts the lowest desire in man, as a 
cadaver attracts the hyena. It is useless in itself to 
strive for attainments materially, because all our physi- 
cal senses are perfectly ripe, as a ripe apple is ready to 
putrefy, but the germ of conscious faculties is planted 
within us by God to grow onward and upward. Con- 
sciousness, when properly awakened and kept in a bal- 



Ultimate Realities. 109 

anced state of considering spiritual things equal to ma- 
terial things, will open the world to ns differently than 
books ever could do. The principal lessons of life there- 
fore naturally lie in a proper understanding of religion, 
where the God explained is the Wisdom of Nature, and 
growth of consciousness is the only and true basis of its 
teaching. 

Ultimate realities will become known and be of prin- 
cipal interest to us. In our consciousness we will look 
into the realm of time with more consideration, than 
we look upon any material object, which changes its 
conditions of appearance as readily as the motory causal 
activities direct it to. Science will step to the front, and 
give other reasoners a chance to fundament this oneness 
in the great complexity of things. They will look from 
the point of ultimate realities and their influence upon 
changeable matter, and tell us that Nature's Wisdom 
allows the perception of the whole from one center when 
we seek it as Wisdom, while matter never allows any 
higher perception than the material. From the inner, 
living unseen light leads the way toward that which the 
external one uncovers. The realm of Creative activity, 
and that which under conditions of ultimate influences 
it expresses, is God's language. From consciousness as 
the eye of life, is the way toward the body. From the 
plan of God in time and space as the sun of eternity, 
toward that little I of man which perceives everything 
in its special form of consciousness, is the way the un- 
derstanding of principal truths related to us. The basis 
of reason fundamented upon changeable realities, will 
change as reason in the ultimate. The only basis for 
science, religion or law is the plan of God, the intention 



110 Glimpses Into Nature. 

of Wisdom in time and space, and which has nothing at 
all to do with any or all changeable minds, except so far 
as they are open and free enough to allow God's light to 
pass into their consciousness and then give a correct in- 
terpretation of it. Thankless, and without character is 
he, who is benefited by a brother, without feeling kindly 
in return to him; and the more thankless and without 
true human judgment is that man, who is constituted as 
a conscious being in a world, where all the time a thing 
which is — needs a cause equal in power to produce it, 
and still have no respect or thought of reverence for the 
Wisdom of Nature, that did express and constitute him. 
We have never seen the consciousness in man, but know 
of it by conscious force-receptivity; so will we never 
see God any nearer to us, save in the conscious Wisdom 
of time and space which constituted and endowed us. 
Ultimate religious or principal judgment has nothing 
to do with material things, and the very mind will have 
to see that thought is all, that is influencing the mind; 
no material thing stands in direct affinity to conscious- 
ness. Thus life's judgment stands on a purely spiritual 
fundament of reason, as in the ultimate, motion of Crea- 
tion stands as far from matter, as time or space itself; 
as Wisdom, Justice or Love ; or as the spirit of man or 
God. Light, spiritual light are we seeking, and it can 
come only to him, who is patiently giving his real power 
to God's Wisdom, in preference to material impressi- 
bility or external changeable things. With man the 
eternal ultimate, endlessly germinates through finite 
perception and impression. The finite is to awaken us; 
while the infinite is to draw us out, until we can realize 
the eternal shore. 



MOTIONS IN CREATION. 

What do we call motion? Between activity and 
quiescency there is one great realm which we will call 
the principle of motion. Activity and quiescency do 
exist; and it is no greater wonder that there is and 
should be stillstand, than that there is and should be 
activity in time and space. There has been no special 
causation with motion or activity, nor with time and 
space; these realities were before we came, and we are 
within them and have been brought into existence 
of and with these very ultimate realities. No reason 
would ever ask the cause of time and space, the inner 
awake consciousness will tell us, that they are eternal 
endless realities, and upon them as nearest to our per- 
ception, stands the structure of Creation. Neither will 
any true reason, in a finite sense, ask what was the spe- 
cial causation of activity or motion, for it is between 
quiescency and activity with time and space co-eternal. 
It is the agent that expresses, changes, materializes and 
gives matter, but it is within time and space, and under 
natural dimensions is related to Natural Wisdom, by 
which it is shaped and changed until all inner qualities 
hidden within the inner realms of activity come into the 
to-be. Quiescency and activity are there; so is the pres- 
ence of time and eternity; and the locality in which we 
are, as well as the endless continuation into every direc- 
tion, is also there. Our power of realization is limited, 

in 



112 Glimpses Into Nature. 

but our spirit when it is awake will open the realm of 
Creation and allow an endless ray of light to enter 
into our being. From the present moment into an end- 
less comprehension of it, is the only way into the time- 
realms of Creation. So have we the great realm of 
space as it increases in Nature, but to the narrow physi- 
cal perception of the eye it is drawn into a limited view 
for the gradual awakening of conscious life. 

In the same relative way there has been given to us 
the perception to realize the mathematical branching, 
that takes place with the rudimentary activity under 
the co-eternal influences of the principles of Evolution, 
Association, or Love; Wisdom, or Nature's limit of pos- 
sibility; and Justice, or tendency of adjusting natural 
contrasts. That rudimentary activity of Creation will 
part or branch into evolutionary characteristics, and ex- 
press new formations of realities, will be seen by mathe- 
matical insight. The different branches resulting from 
the relationship of activity with standstill are, first, as- 
sociated creative activity, which we may term endless 
motion; second, associated and overpolarized endless 
activity in a condition of standstill, as substance. The 
evolved motion of Creation will constitute force or as- 
sociated motion as a purely active reality ; (not as is the 
case with substance, or motion in a putrefied state). 
Only the activity itself is endless and co-eternal with the 
other principles of Nature, and can properly be termed 
the handmaid of God. Substance under any scientific 
name can never be termed as eternally qualified. When 
we consider ultimate or eternal realities only, does the 
dome of Creation rest upon purely immaterial premises. 



Motions in Creation. 113 

It will take some mental changes in the thinking appa- 
ratus of mankind to conceive this fact, but every and 
any kind of material reality can easily be changed into 
pure activity, or strict immateriality from whence it 
came, which in itself will answer this very disputed 
point of the assumed eternal substance. Right within 
the material realm the immaterial realities are guiding. 
As great a contrast as there is between a plant receiv- 
ing its nourishment through material roots, which at- 
tract the necessary substances into their system, and an 
animal which draws its nourishment by purely meta- 
physical agencies of sense-activity (the sense of 
hunger), so great a contrast will be experienced within 
the human family. The lowest mental conscious cycle, 
where an immaterial, purely active, mentality bases the 
fundament of reasonability upon a material basis of 
Nature, is a similar state in the conscious way of life, 
as the plant is in the lower root of Nature for the evo- 
lution of animal life. This lowest mental cycle will 
eventually find a higher outlet of scientifically based 
mental realities, which have their fundament of reality 
centered in the life entity, in the human spirit or con- 
sciousness, under the guidance of thoughts and com- 
prehensions, which operate in the natural living realm, 
or in the realm of Wisdom per se. The death of the 
body, and the still intact remaining living entity, almost 
entirely ignored by the present day reasoner, proves to 
us that life is the superior reality, although physically, 
nothing it is, and that the body is but a shell that may 
change many times without interfering with the prin- 
cipal activities that keep us in the dome of that, which 

8 



114: Glimpses Into Nature. 

exists as life or consciousness. This intact remaining 
entity of man's being, irrespective of all other changes 
taking place at death, proves life or activity to be the 
basis of reality, and the Wisdom of Nature constituting 
man's being as an entity, the most sovereign truth. In 
all deeper investigations of Nature we find that the 
principle of evolution demonstrates itself by manifest- 
ing through all realities, from the most simple toward 
the most complex, and from the most rudimentary to- 
ward the mechanically perfect operative. So we find in 
the ladder of ultimate realities, in their relation to the 
principle of evolution, the activity or principle of mo- 
tion, existing in all grades and relationships to qui- 
escency. All grades of vehemence, from standstill to- 
ward lightning speed, are active straight line, adjustive 
motions, resulting from angular meetings of two line 
motions, give the circular cylindrical motions with a 
tendency toward combining to the expression of a 
sphere-motion. All these motions are eventually 
brought to a center or union through the positive in- 
fluences of the principle of Love, or association. The 
principle of Wisdom, or limit of Nature's possibility, 
will allow these motions to associate by drawing all 
activities from the outer realm to a center, or point of 
association. Since the space of a center does not allow 
an increase, the pressure generated at this point causes 
a clearing of the realities generated within the lower 
conditions of Nature. Activity, pure as it is in itself, 
enters into an amalgamation with activities from all 
directions to one elementary motory stream, and over- 
steps that center to a perfect spherical, relatively cir- 



Motions in Creation. 115 

cumferencing layer. Activities in themselves cannot 
be hindered, and have an associative relation to other 
activities, in which they take in freely all motory direc- 
tions at such a center, and by this evolve a circumfer- 
encing motory layer. But force and motion being the 
lower realities, and lying within the bowels of the posi- 
tive natural activities, are hindered at the center, and 
express an associated sphere of activity, force and sub- 
stance, or matter. This very associated activity of 
Creation, having an affinity toward substances as well as 
force, will therefore be the agent and guiding reality, 
from the first centering which is the sun, upward into 
all higher evolutions. It is the amalgamation and ex- 
pression of activities which we must study. Force and 
substance are acted upon by motory endless activity, 
and shaped into things of existing reality. Generation 
of light takes place in but one limit of possibility, that 
Creative motions of a certain quality, compelled to 
center from many or all possible directions to one point, 
will express a higher motory reality known as light. 
Light, in its natural free state of presentation in the 
sun, demonstrates to us centered and associated endless 
motion as the cause or agent of the force of light, and 
association as its nourishing element. Standstill-reali- 
ties of aboriginal motion, brought to a meeting with 
motory vehemences, give immense eruptive realities as 
the third element. The eruptive motions at the sun 
enter into formations of such material as we know on 
earth. Every material in itself expresses mathematic- 
ally the activity which entered into its constitution. The 
densest steel, the heaviest stone, spiritually give us a 



116 Glimpses Into Nature. 

mathematical measure of activity, absorbed within its 
constitution, and we could term steel of as so many at- 
mospheres of pressure, or rigid rock of as so much at- 
mospheric pressures associated within itself, as it can 
withstand motory influences without losing its solidity. 
This is Nature's way of presentation, and the mind 
will never rest in its investigation of things, until it 
will look from basis toward appearance, and from mo- 
tion or activity, toward the state of the standstill of 
substance and force which associate and express solids 
and all things related to them. We find therefore, that, 
whilst force at the sun-center, in association with other 
force, will bring new realities to expression, which are 
light as an activity, elements of tendency to substan- 
tialize as relative parts within the force; the material 
parts will be the lowest ones, and the flame generated 
by pure force, will pass the greatest external eruptive 
motions, in order to press rudimentary substance of 
Creation into an elevated state of relationship. An in- 
ter-relationship is all the time existing, between motion 
of endless character, force as associated motion, and 
substance as putrefied motion, and the plan of Nature 
is to amalgamate the great external contrasts to a 
meeting of endless motion with force and substance, 
and only within this limit can we find God's plan really 
open to our view. The sun is an associated realm of 
motion which parts into three branches, and the first, 
and positive one, into the sun-circumferencing force of 
atmospheric endless motion, or is in itself an attractive 
girdle of motion which is balanced the most powerfully 
away from the sphere of pressure at the sun-center. 



Motions in Creation. 117 

An equal pressure as the sun-center has, the sun-circum- 
ferencing force has at its outermost girdle of influence, 
and the two forces cross each other perfectly adjusted. 
The sun-circumferencing force is positive at the outer 
sphere of the sun's influence, at, or some distance out, 
of the orbit of Neptune, and the sun-gravitary or cen- 
tering force is positive at the center. The two forces 
of the sun serve as modelling forces for new evolutions. 
New evolutions can only be a similar associating of 
materials, as in the first place an association of motions 
was manifested. Therefore, the new realities came as 
evolutions of substances, associated into materials, 
which are formed or expressed by the impulse of the 
sun-gravitary and sun-circumferencing forces. 

Temperature, in the surrounding atmosphere, is what 
controls the material bodies, and we can never per- 
fectly answer what is the condition of materials upon 
the outer planets in a solar system, without taking the 
greater materializing influence of the sun-circumferenc- 
ing force into consideration. Within the constitution 
of a planet are contained the evolved substances, cen- 
tered by gravitary association, entering into materiali- 
zation of rigid matter as soon as the germ of material- 
ization is reached, or as soon as the circumferencing 
force is sufficiently strong to give a material solidifica- 
tion. Thus, we find that planets are evolved suns, and 
so far as the associated endless motion, or circumferenc- 
ing force of the sun, has any influence upon gravita- 
tively centered materials, that far is the external surface 
of the fire in a rigid solid state, or as similarly associated 
the materials, as the directions of motions did amalga-

mate and give this new force around the sun. We find 
that motion is the forerunner of materialization, and 
where the circumferencing force of the sun is not 
reaching, no materialization to solidify is manifested. 
The expression of contrast, from the associating of abo- 
riginal motion at the sun, will give material globes as 
associated substance, and the circumferencing layer of 
force around the sun, as an attractive girdle for this 
associated material, allows the formation of planets 
therein. The entrance of this formed material body 
into its house of relationship, gives the motory speed 
in the planet as its positive element, while the next 
higher evolution, on account of the superior influence 
of the purer sun-circumferencing force (without the 
strong material influence at the sun-center), gives an 
amalgamation of materials that transmit motion di- 
rectly, which is water. Solid materials are a hindering 
reality to motion; and therefore serve as a vehicle of 
motion, and liquids as water, are material realities trans- 
mitting motion within themselves. The mathematics 
of speed must be determined from solid rigids, and the 
element of water being in direct polar contrast to rigid 
materials, is an agent of endless material evolution; 
inasmuch as water is influenced by the circumferencing 
force of the planets (and solids by the gravitary force), 
which contrast constitutes the law of the tides. The 
penetrability, and colorless state of water, prove to us 
that water is generated from equal and more elevated 
realities than the sun, and we find here, that rigid solids 
are maintained by mathematically exact endless motion, 
which are, therefore, a direct demonstration how nat- 



Motions in Creation. 119 

ural the contrasts of forces stood, that gave rise to 
planetary speeds or movements. Water is an element 
transmitting endless motion upon the surface of the 
planets, as is seen in the tides, which are but an activ- 
ity or motion of endless source expressed upon a mate- 
rial body. The contrast caused by the sun-gravitary 
ascending influence, giving the solid materiality associa- 
tive power, as expressed in rock, finds an adjustment in 
the sun-circumferencing force, which gives movable 
solids as water. The points for scientific astronomers 
to answer are the constitution of the sun as associated 
motion, force and substance. To see that the motory 
part, is all the time the principal part for our under- 
standing; is guiding us to the evolutions of coming re- 
sults. Association of force must, therefore, result in 
associating materials. The forces take a full spherical 
layer where materials associate in the sun's equatorial 
region, or where the sun has the ascendency of activity, 
as the rotation upon the surface. The materials will 
follow in their associated condition, exactly, as the forces 
or their predecessors went. The limit of possibility 
in which this can be done is naturally seen in the 
planets. The chaotic mixture of materials undergoes a 
process of clearing, similar to the clearing of filthy 
water, which is naturally manifested by the associative 
tendency of like and like (solid attractive) materials in 
the water. Since the materials at the sun are of a sun- 
gravitary tendency, and the parts which belong by a 
process of evolution within them, into the sun-circum- 
ferencing force, have to clear themselves perfectly 
from the sun gravitary substances, and then the libera- 



120 Glimpses Into Nature. 

tion of those materials as a globe or planet is taking 
place. The liberation of the planets is caused by the 
adhesive power generated by the planet's association. 
With the evolution of planets the adhesive power of 
materials undergoes a change by the rotary power of 
the earth's circumferencing force, giving to the outer 
surface of the planet a tendency for materials to follow 
the circumferencing attraction. This is really taking 
place in the formation of moons. Only, when the ro- 
tary motion is sufficiently positive to balance the affin- 
ity of materials toward the planet circumferencing 
force, moon-formations are prevented and water is 
evolved. Materials conglomerate into satellites only 
after being liberated from the planet-body, for this is 
their very innate tendency. The revolution of the 
moon's axis is proof of their after-association (after 
liberation of materials from the main body) from a 
ring into a globe, because the one circular orbit gives 
the single revolution of the moon's axis. Kings are the 
previous condition of satellites; they are* an attraction 
of materials to the outside of the planet, at the most 
speed and friction possessing points in the equatorial 
regions, within the equinoctial line. This can still be 
seen in the rings of the last two forming moons of 
Saturn, still in the ring-condition. The greatest diffi- 
culty to perceive, is the transformation of the revolving 
force of the planet into water, for how this could be 
possible no materially based thinker will be able to per- 
ceive. The sun, at his first evolution, had to clear from 
a conglomeration of force, motion and substance into 
endless force, and motions and associating materials, 



Motions in Creation. 121 

and so must the plan of Nature invest endless motion 
for materials evolving water. This must tell us, that 
endless motion, used to move planetary bodies in the 
limit of Creative possibility, is a similar result in the 
sun's endless forces, as the entrance of rotary speed is 
the germ of the formation of water. Water holds a 
close relation to immaterial forces, and material things, 
and is, therefore, necessary to balance the attractive 
tendency of materials, toward the earth's gravitary 
force with the earth's circumferencing attitude. 
Therefore, we find, why as soon as water forms, no 
more material partings, to any extent, take place upon 
a planet. Water is stored up, centered of the revolv- 
ing force of a planet in amalgamation with elements 
of the earth — and sun-circumferencing realm, and 
these elements show their cause of origin by the very 
appearance of water, cleared from the light influence 
and almost freely penetrating light-rays only so far, 
of course, as there are material substances with water, 
that are a hindrance to light, and manifest an appear- 
ance of color. Things are entirely different with 
Nature, than we can perceive them with our external 
senses, and only when there are more minds looking 
with their spiritual eyes, rather than their physical, 
the very cause and effect will be seen from various 
sides of Nature. The basis, that substance and matter 
is co-eternal existing with motion, is entirely wrong; 
this basis of reason can come, however, only from a 
mind considering the eye an equivalent and even su- 
perior standard of receiving realities, than conscious- 
ness, In the principality of Nature the eye will ever 



122 Glimpses Into Nature. 

be only a rudimentary organ to awaken the mind or 
spirit. Neither time nor motion can be materialized, 
but motion and activity of Creation, associated, and 
putrefied within layers of more positive motion, will 
evolve substance; it lies with positive motions to dis- 
solve any and all substances, irrespective of what state 
or condition they are in. Here is where the material 
scientists hunt for ultimate substances, while in reality, 
there are none. The very fact, that a thing is sub- 
stance, tells us that it can be dissolved into activity or 
motion of Creation, but the unity and co-eternity of mo- 
tion can never be changed out of the layers of time and 
space. It is, therefore, fundamental reasoning to know 
of activity as the basis of things, and different states of 
activity will express all things in their different rela- 
tionships, or in the principle of Love, or association; 
Wisdom, or Nature's limit of possibility; and Justice, 
or tendency of equalization or adjustment. From indi- 
vidual parts to one unity is all there is. 

The proof of the planetary formation being the re- 
sult of the center-seeking and center-circumferencing 
forces is positively verified by the two visible and ma- 
terially comparable realities resulting therefrom. 

ISTamely: as long as the center-seeking force will in- 
fluence materials positively, all such materials will 
gather to a center. 

In the limit of natural evolution materials are ri- 
pened beyond the gravitary influence of the center and 
enter then the eircumf erencing affinity. 

This process is verified most rudiment arily in the 
liberation of the planets from the center into the cir- 



Motions in Creation. 123 

cumference, as bulks of such gathered materials. Still 
more clearly does Mature show us this process in the 
liberation of moons, which do not enter the circuni- 
ferencing force of the planet in a bulk, but rise in small 
and loosely separated particles into the circumferencing 
force aud gather to a ring in the equatorial region of a 
planet, which afterward will bulk to a sphere and be- 
come the planet's luminary. The rings of Saturn, for 
instance, are moons in embryo state, and prove our as- 
sertion. 

Mature shows the circumferencing force, in conjunc- 
tion with materials, perfectly, in the expression of 
plantcells, and Avhen its forming and constituting forces 
are thoroughly grasped, the whole Solar System will be 
revealed to the mind as clearly, as a mathematical prob- 
lem, practically solved. 

In the plantcell we find the materials at the very 
place, where in the sun we find the circumferencing 
force, as a comparable reality, without materials. 

The method of Nature, or God's way of construction 
comes to our mind most clearly, first in the force, and 
then, according to its influence, in the materials re- 
quired to shape and form. 

llany a reasoner will be astonished some day to 
find, how by the material, scholastic and mystical in- 
structions, given to human minds through all past time, 
such simple, all the time ad-oculum demonstrated facts, 
could have been overlooked, and chaos have followed 
in place of reality. 

In a few terms, the basic formation of the whole 
could be defined as, first, Endless motion, or primary 



124 Glimpses Into Nature. 

constitutive activity; second, Force, or associated mo- 
tion; and third, Substance, or associated motion putre- 
fied. 

The stages of evolution from these three lowest 
branches of motion, are first, a center of endless motion; 
second, a center of force; and third, a center of sub- 
stance, — giving the sun, as a body in space. 

Thus we have a center of motion in the sun, evolving 
a girdle of an endless attractive activity, — as circum- 
ferencial motion. 

Whereupon follows an influence of a circumferencial 
tendency on forces and substance, as shown in the 
planets and moons, or most perfectly demonstrated in 
a conjunction of materials and forces in a circumfer- 
encial condition — and seen in the cells of plants. 



LAWS OF GKAVITY. 

Creation operates from relation to association. Noth- 
ing is attracted to the earth or sun bnt what a law of 
(gravity) relation draws it there. That the moon is not 
attracted to the earth (although a material body) is he- 
cause it is held by more positive laws of relationship in 
the circumferencing force of the earth; and that the 
earth's gravitary and circumferencing force work for 
one result gives the moon its subjectivity around the 
earth's center. Motions, forces and substances, are gen- 
erated below the sun-center, but organized and attracted 
into it by the laws of association. Forces of Creation, 
under the laws of like and like, associate to a center, and 
on account of the diminutive space the center allows, 
will increase in pressure until motions from every direc- 
tion will meet at the center. Here is where motions of 
equal vehemence, the result of the adjustive principle 
of Creation, will amalgamate from every direction of 
space, and give circumferencing force as a result (new 
product). Instead of a one line force, from the outer 
sphere toward the center, we now have a spheral force 
(united motions from every direction into one), thus 
forming a circumference around the center. This new 
force is adjusted to the gravitary increase of pressure, 
positive at the sun's center. 

The greatest pressure of the sun's gravitary force is 
at its center. The circumferencing force of the sun is 

125 



126 Glimpses Into Nature. 

most positive at the outermost circumferencing layer 
of its influence, at, or some distance out f rom, the orbit 
of Neptune. Nothing can enter the sun-center, but 
what it has a similar relation to the sun's circumferenc- 
ing force ; as nourishment has to the human mind, when 
it dwells still in the physical body. The outer circum- 
ferencing force of the sun is its principal part, as its 
center is kept up and protected by this vast girdle, the 
force of which is equally powerful at the circumference, 
as the pressure is at the center, for this pressure consti- 
tutes in the endless process of evolution, the circumfer- 
encing pressure at the outer periphery. All processes 
within the sun are invisible; only where substances as- 
sociate, and are laid bare by a similar element of pressed 
associated force, giving light, the nature of which neces- 
sarily is to reveal, material things do become visible. 
It is one process of evolution; at the very same junction 
of forces where light is generated, an association of sub- 
stances is generated! Here we become acquainted with 
the language of Nature, which is, that light is a positive 
reality out of a generation of associated forces, where 
materials are a negative reality, generated out of end- 
less standstill motion in a putrefied state, known as sub- 
stance. The third, or most superior element, that of 
endless motion, is pressed through the sun-center and 
constitutes the circumferencing force of the sun. All 
materials originally belong in a house of endless motion, 
which being polarized from the sun-center into the cir- 
cumferencing girdle, it follows that materials are seek- 
ing their house of relationship}. Associated materials 
are in one bulk at the sun-center, and it is only after 



Laws of Gravity. 127 

great obstacles of clearing, and association of like and 
like materials, that a clear affinity of material parts and 
forces, then as a great circumferencing girdle in exist- 
ence, and the adjustment of qniety and motion can come 
into reality. It is this contrast of the girdle of the sun- 
circumferencing force to the materials belonging into it, 
which must be known as the cause of planetary motion. 
The principle of motion existed before the sun in a state 
of chaos only ! In, the sun-center is the first unity, or 
more naturally, the first oneness of purpose expressed, 
which is, that all kinds of motions from every direction 
of space seek to associate and unite into one. A dense 
pressure at the center is produced, and out of this the 
evolution of a circumferencing girdle is but a mathe- 
matical result. Thus we see, that the associative prin- 
ciple is an eternal principle of absolute character, and 
all things are under its unalterable control. The fall of 
a body on earth is a very common occurrence, for all 
things that fall are related to the earth's center; and 
stone as a rudiment of material falls with endlessly in- 
creasing speed, or in other words, expresses the adjust- 
ment of the positive relationship between the earth's 
center, and the place of support whence it fell. This 
adjustment is all the time in a straight line with a con- 
stantly accelerated motion of velocity in accord with the 
distance traversed. This evolution of speed is the result 
of the contrasts between the point of attraction, as the 
cause of the fall, and the still remaining relationship to 
its former place of support. If the stone could fall on 
another world, where equity would not be required, then 
there would be no lapse of time in the fall of the stone, 



128 Glimpses Into Nature. 

because the fall would not be an adjustment between 
the place of rest and the point of attraction. On this 
world, however, nothing can fall, but that it carries 
with it a natural relationship to both points of contact. 
This law of Nature is necessary to be known or realized, 
as it is this contrast that gives us the basis for the fall 
of the planet. One great difficulty to a mind, not able 
to see the forces in Nature, is that he cannot see the fall 
of a body from a center to circumference, because it is 
in the nature of things, that light uncovers only that, 
which lies in polar contrast to itself. Every fall of a 
stone thrown by hand, or receiving impulse from any 
other cause, will demonstrate a tendency to a circular 
fall in conjunction with the force of gravity. 

The problem of the fall of the planets stands thus : 

The force of the outer circumferencing girdle causing 
the planet to fall, positively attracts the same. 

The materials composing a planet are being held in 
material layers within the sun-center and are holding a 
close affinity to the same. 

The materials of a planet at the sun, cannot fall or 
liberate as long as they hold a too strong influence to- 
ward the sun-center, or in other words, as long as the 
materials are astray or not associated and are mingled 
with the other materials of the sun. 

The materials therefore gather slowly; and associate 
according to the law of like and like on the periphery 
of the sun-body; and when a sphere of such materials 
have gathered, the birth of the planet is allowed. 

As a drop of water upon a pane of glass will have an 
adjustive form between a sphere and a plane, so will a 



Laws of Gravity. 129 

planet on the sun, have an elongated, cylindrical, half 
plane, half sphere-form, and will in the first liberation 
from the sun part from pole to pole. 

One full circle around the whole sphere of the sun is 
made, and the new born planet is evenly adjusted, bal- 
ancing itself in disengaging the one pole, and deviating 
with equal vehemence the other. 

As soon as one circle of the planet around the sun is 
completed, it is as if the sphere were sufficiently pro- 
tected to travel the great endless run of its orbit, with- 
out ever coming in direct contact with the mother-body 
again. The child, so to speak, now has to walk its own 
path. 

The deviation of the poles of the planet is, therefore, 
within its very constitution; although different with 
every other planet. 

The larger and more uniform the association of the 
materials of the planet was at the sun, the more evenly 
will be its parting, and consequently, the less its devia- 
tion; whilst an eruptive and unsettled association will 
give the axis of the planet a very oblique angle and 
cause the deviation of the poles to be very great. 

The sun is the center of all the planets, but to an 
outer circumference or circle does every planet have the 
affinity of attraction, or the law of relationship directs 
them there. 

The perfect adjustment between center and circum- 
ference, we must keep as an important view. If a center 
attracts, then, the flight or speed of a body can be in 
accord only with our general conception of gravity; 



130 Glimpses Into Nature. 

namely, that bodies fall with accelerated speed and in 
harmony with a straight-line relationship. 

Planets, however, are attracted to a spheral circum- 
ference positive to attract planets, but the associating 
force holding the planet as a material body united, is 
more positive; and the planet is thus protected, and 
cannot disintegrate, because there is a drop-forming 
force constituting the center-gravitary and center-cir- 
cumferencing forces in a perfect positive conjunction 
with the planet. 

The planets, therefore, will fall in a spiral line equally 
increasing their speed to double their previous velocity, 
as the different distances from the center of the sun 
outward are covered. 

This is in perfect accord with the principles of Asso- 
ciation and Justice. 

The required speed of a planet has already been pre- 
viously laid out within the plan of Nature, and is mani- 
fested in reality by the adjusted contrast which comes 
to expression. 

The speed is so perfectly controlled by other relation- 
ships, that the material force, and the force of circum- 
ference which binds the planet, will be strained in 
pressure all the time to the utmost limit that these forces 
are able to withstand in their speed around the sun. 

What proof do we have in support of our law for the 
fall of the planets? 

Even though we had no proof whatever, yet would 
this description be true when realized within the princi- 
ples of Motion, Evolution, Wisdom, Justice, and Love 
or association. But for the ones who would wish to fol- 



Laws of Gravity. 131 

low these principal realities of Mature we will give a 
proof that will answer for itself. 

A regular sphere-shaped body (planet) falls from the 
center in a spiral curve, with a uniformly accelerated 
motion, developing the speed of its velocity with every 
completed proceeded distance to double that speed of 
each preceding one; until at last it reaches its final 
respective house of adjustment, where an even and end- 
less continuous motion is attained. 

Every regular shaped body falling in a regular gravi- 
tary line cannot evolve any other motion than that bear- 
ing it straight toward the center, but as soon as it falls 
in an irregular or aberration from the straight line, will 
a motion correlative to the distance of the outer from 
the inner spiral line of the fall of the body be generated; 
this motion must necessarily revolve the body about its 
own axis. 

In a perfectly spiral fall, as is the case with the 
planet, the inner pole falls exactly so much less in dis- 
tance from the sun-center of gravity, as measures the 
diameter of the planet. 

Let us suppose that the planet in its spiral motion 
around the sun would fall at the outer pole exactly so 
much more than at the inner, as is the distance between 
the two, then, the increased speed of velocity at the 
outer pole, exerting great pressure toward its center, 
would set the planet to spin around itself and thus bring 
about an equilibrium or adjustment between the outer 
and inner motion of the fall. 

The original speed around the axis is in every planet 
all the time a mathematical result of the difference of 



132 Glimpses Into Nature. 

speed between the inner and outer line of the spiral fall 
of a planet from the center to circumference, and the 
last developed speed resulting from the distance the 
planet measures in diameter, is mathematically demon- 
strated in the motion around itself. 

Here the mind may become acquainted with two 
speeds of the planet, one around the sun, and the other 
around the axis. Namely: the distance from the planet 
to the sun, will be divided into sections, of which the 
first is double the diameter of the planet, the second 
four times the diameter, the third eight times the diam- 
eter, and so on increased with each successive section 
to double the next preceding one, will give the number 
of times the planet would have increased its velocity in 
a straight fall from the sun ; but since it is in a circular 
fall, these distances must be multiplied times 3.1416, 
which is the difference between the straight line and 
the circumference of its circle. 

The diameter of a planet determines the speed 
around its axis; and this speed of our Earth multiplied 
by as many double proceeded sections as there are found 
to be in her distance from the sun, times the ratio of the 
circumference of a circle to its diameter (3.1416), and 
this product now divided by the first multiplicand of 
this operation, will give the number of times the speed 
of the axis is contained in that of the planet. 

The whole Solar System, and the changes or evolu- 
tions which have passed through the speeds of the plan- 
ets around their axis, and why they are essentially neces- 
sary, as well as the effect of satellites on the speed of the 
planet's rotary motion, will become known and come 



Laws of Gravity. 133 

into a much clearer view from the perception of this 
mathematical law. 

The evolution of water as a result of the two forces 
of speed (the rotary axis — and the planetary moving — ), 
must be very similar to that of the associative tendency 
in granite rock. The pressure of speed and its amalga- 
mation with substances will generate water. 

Water is all the time Creation's investment of the 
rotary motion of a planet into a new element. This 
generation of rotary motion around the axis is caused 
by the liberation of materials into the circumferencing 
forces of a planet, and by keeping the revolving speed 
within the center-body. 

We find, therefore, that the planets of Jupiter and 
Saturn have had an immense increase of rotary motion, 
in consequence of liberating material ballast from their 
body. The speed of Saturn's original motion of 408 
hours around its axis, has and is still being increased to 
a velocity of only 4 to 5 hours' duration, by satellites 
and rings, which in parting from their center-body, de- 
creased its bulk and increased its vehemence of rotation. 

Motions and speeds bear to material things the same 
relation as a father does to his children; and we must 
study the characteristics of motions, in order to become 
acquainted with the purpose of material things in the 
plan of Nature. 

As endlessly as the sun is shining, and kept aflame 
by motions in the great All, evolved out of the great 
sea that is in the realms of space, existing between 
activity and quiescency, so are the planets kept in their 



134 Glimpses Into Nature. 

endless flight by the same eternal Plan, which operates 
in the vast great All. 

Our consciousness is nourished by the same principal 
of Motion and our senses are gravitating in their evolu- 
tion toward our consciously constituted entity; as cha- 
otic motion of Creation, keeps endlessly the inner sun 
aflame. Gravitation, is but one letter in the principle 
of Love or association and Justice of Creation, is the 
ground from where we can realize God's way of evo- 
lution. 

We have to judge the plan of material planets from 
the motory side toward the material, as we judge the 
possibility of metals and stone within a realm of tem- 
perature. 

It is the invisible that guides, and the visible, the 
thing guided ! 



GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE NATURAL 
FORMATION OF PLANETS. 

I. All planets of our Solar System come from one 
center, the Sun. 

II. Every planet is ripened in the sun, and then at- 
tracted to its proper place within the outer forces of 
the sun. 

III. The sun is naturally constituted of two forces, 
namely, the center-seeking or sun-gravitary, and the 
center-circumferencing or sun-protecting force; the 
former is the attraction of proper motion* from every 
direction of space to one center, and the latter is an 
overpassing force of that center, which is giving the 
natural demonstration of light as its evolution. The 
center-seeking or sun-gravitary force is equally increas- 
ing from the circumference to the center, and the 
center-circumferencing or sun-protective force is equally 
increasing from the center toward the circumference, or 
in other words, is most positive at the outermost cir- 
cumference, while negative at its center. 

IV. Every planet is, and always was, an association 
of material substances, ripened at the sun-center. The 



♦Creation's inherent processes of evolution generate from the 
Aboriginal innate activity of space three branches of motory reali- 
ties, which are: Endless motion, as the positive part, associated 
creative activity, or force, the passive part, and putrefied creative 
motion, disintegrated motion, substance, as the negative or stand- 
still motory part. Endless motion carries the forces arid sub- 
stances within itself in one stream. This stream we term the 
proper motion for the nourishing of the Sun. 

135 



136 Glimpses Into Nature. 

force overpassing the sun, lays the circumference much 
quicker than these substances would, the latter there- 
fore, when ripe, have the house in which they are to 
travel, all the time ready within the same. 

V. The sun's circumferencing force is most positive 
some distance outward from the orbit of Neptune, the 
sun's outermost realm of influence. 

VI. The sun-center is the birthplace of this force, 
and is therefore, the center of the planets, and so much, 
to guide the investigator, can be assured, that a planet 
falling from the sun-center into the circumferencing 
realm, is the same mathematical process of speed-devel- 
opment, as a stone falling from a height in a straight 
line toward the earth's center, and with an equal evolu- 
tion of speed as the distance it has passed. 

VII. We wish the mind to become acquainted with 
the fact, that a thing falling toward a center falls 
straight, or at least with an adjustment toward the 
straight line, and the very mathematics of Nature tell 
us, that anything seeking a center, will be guided to it 
in a positively straight line, and with an even mathe- 
matical acceleration of speed. 

VIII. Let us keep this fact in mind, and then reverse 
the condition, namely, that we will look from a center 
and watch the fall from there toward the circumference, 
and we will see a fall in the spiral line with an equal 
circular evolution of speed. 

IX. A regular sphere-shaped body will, when falling 
any distance in a straight line, never evolve any motion 
around its own axis, this is in the very nature of things. 
On the same premise of reason, however, will a body 



Natural Formation of Planets. 137 

falling from a center toward the circumference, develop 
a speed around its own axis, as this motion is the result 
of an adjustment between the outer and inner point of 
distance of the poles of the planet, and the differences 
of speeds resulting therefrom. 

X. From this point of realization we can give the 
more exact data of our perception, namely, that the 
diameter of a planet will give exactly the axis speed 
evolution in its fall, at its outermost realm of adjust- 
ment, or at its last ring of evolution, where the place 
of adjustment was formed within the sun. 



PLANETARY LAWS. 

I. Every planet has a uniform speed underlying it, 
which must be found in the general planetary mathe- 
matics, then can a mind read or find the contents of 
the problem in view. 

II. One process of speed evolution underlies all 
planets, but the nature of things necessitates changes, 
and with these we haTe to deal. 

III. A general principle is, that the more bodies (sat- 
ellites) are liberated by a planet the greater will be the 
speed around its own axis. Satellites are a part of the 
constitution of the planet in which they were contained. 

IV. Every planet, like the sun, has a force attracting 
all things toward its center, and another circumferenc- 
ing it. The gravitary force is, exactly like that of the 
sun, positive at the center, while the circumferencing 
one is most positive at the outermost layer of the plan- 
etary influence, and they are passing each other polarly 
in an even manner of contrast to adjustment. 

V. The problem of the planet is not how far, or how 
near to the Sun it is, but how to evolve human life 
thereon. The "Wisdom of Creation, or God's laws, prove 
this to be a fact, and will be verified upon the pages of 
Creation if a mind be but willing to look for truths and 
facts into Xature rather than into books. 

VI. The force evolved at the sun-center, and which 
constitutes its circumference, expresses light on every 

138 



Planetary Laws. 139 

planet equally alike, and Mars or Neptune have the 
same degree of light as we on earth. So is matter upon 
every planet equal, and our present-day scientists' cogi- 
tation and figuring of one planet being heavier than 
another, will likewisely undergo a change, when they 
will understand that the solidification of substances on 
planets is carried on by the same circumf erencing force 
of the sun, and by its increase or decrease, according to 
its distance from the sun-center. Solids, at Uranus, on 
account of the more powerful influence of the sun-cir- 
cumferencing force, are exactly as heavy and dense at 
its distance from the sun, as at the planets Yenus or 
Mercury at theirs. 

VII. Materialization of solids, and evolution of light 
and color, are local manifestations of the circumfer- 
encing force of the sun, in amalgamation or union with 
the material forces of gravitation and circumference (or 
magnetic force — hence it operates the compass) of the 
planet. We, therefore, can say that in particular, every 
planet materializes its own light, while in a general 
sense, it receives it from the sun. Just as much as day- 
time is the result of the meeting and amalgamation of 
the sun and earth forces, evolving light on one side of 
the planet, so is night-time the result of the other side 
of the planet being turned from the sun, producing a 
decrease of the interaction of forces, resulting in dark- 
ness, which in this manner alternately balances the con- 
trasts of light and darkness, which darkness is opening 
the outer realms of heaven clear before our view. 



CENTERS OF INTEREST IN THE FORMATION 
OF PLANETS. 

Every planet falls from the sun-center into the sun- 
circumference, and they all underlie one law of speed. 
The speed inherent within planets must be determined 
from the exact spiral fall, which will answer positively, 
what the original mother-speed was. Although some of 
these principles may not easily be understood, yet the 
general outlay will answer why water upon a planet 
lessens its motion, and why the evolution of many satel- 
lites and rings on the larger planets did quicken this 
motion to their present state. Since every motion upon 
a planet, as the revolution of the planet around itself, 
the movement of the tides and, the flight of the moons, 
are originally of one speed within the mother-sphere of 
the planet, and in its condensation, originally branched 
apart into planets and satellites, it follows, that by one 
principal law we have to determine the inherent speed 
originally within the mother-planet, before we could fol- 
low the branching of the speed and the result there- 
from. Nature liberates a planet from the center of the 
sun into its circumference, by the same process of in- 
creasing its speed, as the fall of an object demonstrates 
it here. "While however an object here on earth falls 
in a straight line from without toward the center, the 
fall of a planet occurs from the center toward the cir- 
cumference. Everything must be followed naturally; 

140 



Centers of Interest in Formation of Planets. 141 

and so we must study planets. Material science claims 
that planets run in elliptical orbits, because a constantly 
changing focus of the sun, by reason of the concave and 
convex atmospheric breaking of the light-rays, causes 
them to discover the planets and stars on apparently 
eccentric paths. "We cannot look through the atmos- 
phere, but that we pass concave atmospheric layers in 
which the diverted rays of the sun apparently are 
changing the perspective of the heavens without; nor 
can we look at another planet, but that we look through 
its surrounding atmosphere, and circumferencing force. 
The elliptical appearance of the orbit of a planet is due, 
either, to the diverted rays of the sun, or, what is more 
probable, to its different circle around him, which would 
cause the same to appear elliptic on account of the dif- 
ferent angle of position we occupy toward that planet. 
As to what position the plane of the orbit of our planet 
holds in relation to the sun, in reality, no one can an- 
swer, as our very guiding-points of direction, north, 
south, east, west, up or down, are depending on the 
gravitary force of our earth, and the magnetic needle 
of the compass. 

"Where do planets come from? 

Planets come from the sun. 

How or by what manner do they come ? 

They are liberated from the surface of the material 
sun, and fall in a spiral line outward to the circumfer- 
ence of their house of adjustment, within the circum- 
ferencing force of the sun. 

How do we prove it? 



142 



Glimpses Into Nature. 



By the very condition of the planets within them- 
selves; first, by their endless flight around the sun; 
second, by the motion around their own axis; third, by 
the motion originally around their own axis latterly 
branching out into motions and expression of satellites, 
(this parting or branching out gives on account of the 
lessening of material volume more speed to the body of 
the planet) and into the speed of the tides. 

We will take the earth as a demonstration of our 
proposition first.

THE ACQUISITION AND ACCELERATION OF 
VELOCITIES. 

(Key to the Tables.) 

Rigid solids, in a mathematical sense, are the vehicles 
of motion, or of the velocities of speed, absorbed by the 
planet-body in its fall or liberation from the sun-center 
into the snn-circnmference. 

The directions of vehemence, and characteristics of 
speeds in planets, are a positive demonstration of their 
natural origin, and at the same time, give also a proof 
of the limit of possibility in which even such vast and 
yet so simple a subject as the generation of planets take 
place. 

There are three individual motions in a planet, every 
one of which gives testimony of their natural origin : 
Eirst, The motion of the deviation of the poles of the 
planet; second, The motion of the rotation of the axis 
of the planet; and third, The motion of the planet around 
the mother-body, or the sun. 

The first is of but inferior importance at present, 
but the second and third are of vital consideration in 
this problem. The difference of vehemence in the two 
latter motions, inherent in the planets, express in the 
most real manner Creation only can demonstrate, that 
the fall of the planets is the result of a positive rela- 
tionship of the contrast between the sun-center and

sun-circumference, and will, according to the density of 
matter, evolve speed. The fall of a stone from the 
circumference (place of repose) to the center (Earth) 
with a uniformly accelerated motion, is a demonstration 
of the fall of a planet in a straight line*with this differ- 
ence, that, while a stone falls from the circumference 
toward the center, to remain there in a state of rest, 
a planet would fall from the center toward the circum- 
ference, to remain there in a state of endless motion, 
and in either case, no matter in what way we look at it, 
a contrast has been adjusted, for the planet, although 
in a state of endless motion, is as much in a state of 
comparative rest, as the stone is in a state of perfect 
rest, and neither can fall any further. 

For a better understanding of the subject we will 
now deal with the source and origin of planetary mo- 
tion; or, on how the planet inherited its motion from 
the circumf erencing forces of the sun. 

A regular shaped body or sphere, falling from the 
center into the circumference in a perfectly spiral line, 
with a uniformly accelerating motion, out into its final 
house of adjustment, will increase the radius of each 
succeeding circle by half the distance from the next 
preceding one, and continue to decrease the distance 
from circle to circle, until at the last and final one, it 
will have been reduced to only double the diameter of 
the planet. This is the last distance the planet can 
fall; for, when its inner pole has reached the outer line 
of the last ring, it will travel within the distance of its 
own diameter, and could not possibly fall any further, 
then, another ring, only half the diameter of that body, 



150 Glimpses Into Nature. 

the planet will not allow. Thus, the distance between 
the different circles will decrease with the expansion, 
and increase with the contraction of the spiral line. 

Y\ r e now come to the explanation of our tables, and 
for convenience of better illustration, will take the 
Earth as an example. Let each completed circle, from 
distance to distance, represent one unit of speed, like a 
stone falling a certain distance within a given time. 

Again, the planet having separated from the center 
(this means the surface of the sun, being the center of 
the Solar System) it will fall very slowly, with a hardly 
perceptible motion, at first, some millions of miles in 
an almost straight line outward, (the gravitary forces 
of the sun being most positive at the center and most 
negative at the outer circumference) but gradually the 
circumf erencing forces of the sun (being most positive 
at the outer circumference and most negative at the 
center), becoming more predominant as the planet 
moves outward, will slowly give that body a curvilinear 
direction, and allow the same a corresponding increase 
of speed, and, to make the problem still clearer, let us 
now draw an imaginary straight line, from the center 
of the sun to the house of adjustment, and measure from 
there backward to the sun, for the last distance the 
planet fell, a space double the length of the diameter; 
for the second last, a space four times the diameter; for 
the third, eight times the diameter, and so on increase 
the distances as per tables, until we have reached the 
planet at the last mentioned place. The planet has now 
traveled a distance of about 26 millions and some odd 
miles outward and partly around the sun, and gradually 



Acquisition and Acceleration of Velocity. 151 

acquired a fair rate of speed; and now makes a full cir- 
cuit around the sun, reaching the line at the next mark 
about 32 millions of miles from its former place. This 
comprises the first full unit of speed; and with another 
circuit, it reaches the line about 16 millions of miles 
from the last mark and acquired the second full unit 
of speed. So it will continue to make circuit after cir- 
cuit till its final abode is reached. 

This is what we call the acquisition of the speed 
around the sun ; and the further a planet falls the more 
vehement becomes its motion, and the vehemence it ob- 
tains at the end of the last fall, will forever remain in- 
herent therein. 

The reader will notice, that, while the diametrical 
spaces become less, the distances, the planet covers in 
its fall, increase, but are less apparent because they are 
absorbed in the circumference of the circles. 

The acquisition of the speed of the planet around 
itself has been explained in another place from where 
we quote the following: The original speed around 
the axis is in every planet all the time a result of the 
difference of speed acquired betiveen the inner and outer 
line of a spiral fall of a planet from center to circum- 
ference, and the speed developed, resulting last from the 
distance the planet measures in diameter, is mathe- 
matically demonstrated in the motion around itself. 

The motion, moving the planet around the sun, is in- 
dependent of the motion around the axis, for while 
the latter did increase and decrease, the former did not, 
and may therefore be called the invariable speed of the 
planet. , 



152 Glimpses Into Nature. 

The axis-motion, however, is dependent on the mo- 
tion around the sun, for, should the latter vary the 
vehemence of its velocity but a little, the former would 
too. The axis-motion may decrease or increase the 
vehemence of revolution; may lengthen or shorten the 
time of day; is subject to the liberation of material 
ballast and the generation of water, but will never affect 
the time of its journey around the sun in the least. 
The axis-motion may therefore be called, in contrast to 
the motion around the sun, the variable speed of the 
planet. In reality it is no more variable than the other; 
but under different conditions of the planet's develop- 
ment, is brought to different expressions. Both, the 
variable and invariable speed of the planet, are innate, 
and as an endless capital inherent in the planet; there- 
fore we deem it proper, that the innate speed of the 
planet (before water had evolved) be called also, in 
distinction to the original one, the subsequent speed of 
the planet, because it is subsequent to the formation of 
moons. 

But, to return to our subject, hey to the tables, let us 
now count in the tables the spaces of distances or speeds 
on the straight line from the house of adjustment back 
toward the surface of the sun, and we have 12.4083 + 
(nearly 12.41) and multiply them by 3.1416 (the ratio 
of the circumference of a circle to its diameter) == 
38.9819 +. This is the ratio of the original axis speed 
to the invariable one around the sun. 

And to prove this proposition, let us now divide 
8766.1536 +, the hours per year, by the number of 
hours of the original axis speed, 14.73129 +, and we 



Acquisition and Acceleration of Velocity. 153 

have 595.07 + days for the original year, or the num- 
ber of revolutions of the planet within so many hours; 
the last term now divided into 577,614,576, the number 
of miles in the orbit of the planet, will give us the num- 
ber of miles the planet covered in its sweep around the 
sun within one original day, = 970,661, which, divided 
again by the circumference of the planet 21900.32 +, 
will give us 38.98 + = the ratio of the invariable speed 
to one axis rotation; thus this intricate problem is 
solved. 

To find the fractional speed, add the number of miles 
contained in the 12 speeds, as per table, and subtract 
the result from the total distance of the planet from 
the sun; this divided into the thirteenth speed, is the 
fraction wanted. This example must serve as a guide 
for the understanding of all the tables. 

The number of spaces measured off between the 
inner line of the orbit of the planet and the surface of 
the sun, as shown in the tables, multiplied by 3.1416, 
will give the original difference of velocity of the axis 
and zodiac motion absolutely correct; and is at the 
same time a mathematical demonstration as to how both 
of these motions were caused. 

It is within the plan of Nature that such a subject 
can never be grasped from a purely material aspect; 
and a mind must be able to follow the mathematics of 
motion, because it is a process of Nature entirely within 
motory realities only. 

From the original difference of the axis and zodiac 
velocities we can give the approximate time for one ro- 
tation of the planet before the moons received their 



154 Glimpses Into Nature. 

impulse of motion, or before water had evolved, or, if 
water is there, we can give the time of the tides on 
that planet. 

It is self-evident that the solid or rigid matter of the 
planet is but the conveyance, or vehicle of motion, and 
that it can never alter or change its endless velocity; 
but water cannot exist without absorbing or drinking 
in, and assimilating, the rotary axis motion of that 
planet, for it is the absorption and digestion of this 
very motion that keeps the water alive; evolves all 
higher realities from the mineral state upward, and ful- 
fills the plan of Nature ! 

The time from one high tide to another is a demon- 
stration how much rotary motion is absorbed in the 
element of water, which is the lowest element mixed 
with motion, and in this sense, therefore, the very Basis 
of Life. 

The element of water is, therefore, evidence, that the 
innate or subsequent speed is on every planet divided 
into two distinct realities of time, which, in conjunction, 
constitute the solid and liquid matter of the planet. 

That is to say, that the subsequent speed is expressed 
first, in the time that the solid or rigid matter of the 
planet requires, — the pressure, arising from the dif- 
ference of vehemence with which the outer diameter 
of that body moves in contrast to the inner one around 
the sun, — to convey the resulting rotary motion around 
the axis of the planet; and second, in the lapse of time 
that water causes in resistance to the planet's revolu- 
tion, producing the tides. 



Acquisition and Acceleration of Velocity. 155 

In water, Nature gives an amalgamated product of 
the former two great contrasts, viz., immaterial motion 
vs. rigid solids; and in this light a mind must look into 
the great labyrinth of Creation. It is a wise providing 
of Nature, that planets with and without moons, with 
moons in embryo state, and with life, are to guide the 
spirit or consciousness to reach such vast a subject as 
the generation of the Solar Evolution; and in deep 
reverence do we silently thank the Giver of Life for His 
Wisdom, which made it possible for such an infin- 
itesimal spark of human life to read and realize the 
first lesson of our home in Creation, and the road of 
Causation, whence we came through the eternal plan of 
God! 



SPIRITUAL ASTRONOMY. 

We say spiritual because we try to look at Nature's 
operations through a conscious perspective or through 
the spiritual eye. Although it is in the conditions of 
things, that we become aware of the reality through our 
material senses first; true judgment does not depend on 
these, for above all such perception we must allow con- 
sciousness to exercise her best and highest reason. The 
facts given in the tables concerning the origin of plan- 
ets at the sun-center will remain, for the two inherent 
motions in planets will prove the cause of their libera- 
tion. That planets fall out from the sun-source or sun- 
fire into the circumference is and can be seen beyond a 
doubt. The way Creation manifests is determined by 
the laws that first center motions to a point, and then 
from this center evolve a layer of circumference. Be- 
tween these two constituted forces of Nature lie the 
angular, quadrangular, and pyramidal in form; the 
point, line, area, cube, and every other imaginable rudi- 
mentary form. The circumferencing force proves its 
reality in the expression of the centrifugal fall of the 
planet, and its evolution of speed is in accord with grav- 
itary principles. This is the way father Sun is evolved, 
and the evolved force at the center brings a layer of 
circumferencing energy to expression. This very man- 
ner or mode of process we find more or less perfect, as 
well as evolving in the planets. The nearer we come 

156 



Spiritual Astronomy. 157 

to the outer planets the more change has there been 
caused by the evolution of the circumferencing force, 
and the nearer we step to the inner or later ones the 
less has there been, as in the later ones the forces of 
attraction toward the center, and protecting or circum- 
ferencing ones, were complete when leaving the sun. 
It is in accord with reason to know, that every center of 
evolution has its tendency to seek a circumferencing 
girdle to protect itself; this is the sun. From the for- 
mation of centers to the forming of circumferences is 
Nature's way of possibility ; and from the overstepping 
of the forces, from the center to the circumference, is 
the plan laid out for the evolution of matter. Matter of 
all kind, in a Creative sense, is motion associated, and 
no one can make any more of it. At the sun-center the 
materials are formed or materialized. The forces that 
passed the sun-center, are the forerunners which consti- 
tute the house (the sphere encircling the sun around 
the orbit of a planet) for those materials. The contrast 
of distance, between the sun-center and the house of cir- 
cumference, whereinto those materials belong by asso- 
ciation, brought to an equilibrium, gives rise to the end- 
less planetary motions in a circle around the sun. The 
motion upon or around the axis of a planet results from 
the spiral fall, while the motion deviating from the plan- 
etary axis is resulting in the process of liberation, from 
pole to pole of the planet at the sun, and gives in one 
circuit around the sun the deviation of the poles from 
the plane of the orbit. The original speed of the planets 
cannot be found, as no one of them is in its original state 
(of liberation). When mankind will look through the 



158 Glimpses Into Nature. 

spiritual eye into planets, lie will look from the limit in 
which water can be evolved upon a planet, for how that 
can be accomplished is God's next step, and Mature 
herself does answer. Every planet is a center of motion 
brought to a standstill, which is rigid rock. Beginning 
at this state of condition, the planetary motion has the 
office to evolve speed equal to the expression of water. 
Rock is associated motion, and motion of a double end- 
less vehement equalization, in conjunction with the 
other necessary constituents, expresses water. The as- 
sociative power in the planet Mercury is so much less 
than in Jupiter, as their bodies vary in size. It takes 
therefore, by so much more speed on Jupiter or Saturn 
than it does upon Mercury to evolve water. We see 
now what powerful strives Jupiter or Saturn had to pass 
through, before such immense speed could be evolved. 
While no moon was needed to evolve water upon Mer- 
cury, the planets Jupiter and Saturn had to evolve 
power of attraction in circumferencing force, which 
had to liberate ballast of matter from out of the mother- 
body. A satellite is nothing more than a saving of the 
revolving speed, from the material at the center, and a 
liberating of matter, to be carried then, in the circum- 
ferencing force. Thus we find that Saturn in the plan 
of Nature, having to evolve water upon his surface, had 
to liberate ten moons ; two of which are still in an em- 
bryo state. But water eventually will be evolved; which 
is in the very utility of God of Nature. There are 
many critics who say that planets run in oval lines, ellip- 
tic; yes, even the moon which is so very near is sup- 
posed to run in an elliptic orbit around our globe. There 



Spiritual Astronomy. 159 

are also many who assert that there is no water, heat or 
light, upon those further away planets. To look from 
a material body, a planet, in a house (the sphere encir- 
cling the sun around the orbit of a planet), materialized 
and constituted, and the constituting principle of which 
is adjusting itself upon every planet individually alike, 
whether far or near from the sun-center, and then to 
trust the eye or telescope, as mechanical aid to the eye, 
more than upon the innate grasping of the principle of 
Justice, will never answer the question as to how things 
are in themselves. It is important to follow up forces 
and motion to find their resulting realities of matter, 
but never will a mind see how things are caused in 
Nature by following their material aspects only. Every 
planet when properly studied, will establish the fact that 
by Nature there is a plan with and in the planet; but 
when we look only through our eyes, all things will seem 
chaos, and generating nothing in the ultimate. From 
rigid matter toward matter transmitting motion, is the 
plan of Creation in her planets. As long as the proper 
axis-speed is not acquired water is not attainable; the 
forces evolved on account of the double and endless mo- 
tion around the sun, and its own axis, are serving as an 
agent to attract matter toward the outer layers of the 
circumferencing forces of the planet. The enveloping 
force at the circumference being positive to the negative 
one at the center, moon after moon is liberated from 
the center, while the original speed remains there as a 
rotary increase until water is evolved, or until the force 
constituting rigid solids is overpowered by rotary speed 
and expresses water as a new element in this condition. 



160 Glimpses Into Nature. 

Things are adjusted wisely; for never can the rotary 
speed increase to a greater velocity than the material 
ground of the planet can withstand. Matter, however, 
is based first, upon its density at its proximity to the 
sun body, which gives Mercury such tremendous speed 
in its fall from that body; secondly, upon the associative 
unity of the mass of the planets which is found in the 
difference of their diameters. A power that associates 
a body of 80,000 miles in diameter is ever so much more 
powerful, than an associative agent as a power uniting 
a body of only 8,000 miles through its center. Nature 
has therefore different ways of evolving life on a planet, 
but they all are under one principle. Matter can never 
enter any higher constituent reality than in the limit 
in which it is changed to forces, and as such is entering 
into expressions of new elements. Moons are therefore 
not entirely dead to the center, but give forces, which 
having passed the material condition, yield to new ex- 
pressions on the planet. It is a very singular thing that 
to the eye of the spirit all things stand so near and easily 
discernible. The sun as a center of associated motion, 
where motion is pressed to the center, is the fundament 
from which the lowest lesson of Biology and Cosmology 
must be studied. From the sun-center to the spherically 
circumferencing forces is the way to study. The light 
with its atmospheric subjectivity of aberration, and other 
influencing aberrations of concave and convex, straight 
and circular motions, and other different layers of mo- 
tions in the heavens, will never answer mathematically 
what in reality the run of planets is. That water in 
contrast to solids will uphold an individual motion is 



Spiritual Astronomy. 161 

in the elements of water and solids. The gravitary in- 
fluence is different at the surface of the earth than at 
its center which difference will naturally cause a motion 
in water known as the tides, which runs as an individual 
motion outside of the rotary one of the earth. The tides 
are the pulse of the heart of the planet, and pulsation 
within the heart of animated life is but a higher law of 
contrast between higher material, and a liquid motory 
character. Evolution of higher forms is manifested 
in Creation where water is evolved, because it is the 
endless contrast between water and solids which gener- 
ates new realities, that at first are as minerals, a mixed 
element of solids and liquids, which changes later the 
two elements into a layer of materiality (earth), that 
can (evolve and) nourish a plantcell. This plantcell 
giving force is only a full expression of force and mat- 
ter of a center-seeking and a center-circumferencing 
conjunction. The plantcell will all the time stand as a 
demonstration of the sun forces, that draw the planets 
into the equatorial sun-circumference in a normal state, 
and only when a planet cannot properly associate, will 
the materials fall out into the sun-polar regions, as we 
find demonstrated in the Asteroids, which are supposed 
to have a very elliptic flight that in reality is only the 
very different circle they hold around the sun, and thus 
causing their orbit to appear as elliptic. Certain hy- 
potheses regarding the planetary and solar laws now 
entertained, and even verified, by the very scientists of 
to-day, will never be found correct, and in one sense are 
only drawing the mind away from resting-places in this 
movable realm of the heavens. As long as time is 



162 Glimpses Into Nature. 

known to mankind upon earth, have the fixed stars been 
like a compass for us ; in the face of this fact, however, 
does science assume that the sun and his planets in space 
move around other centers, and this with a speed of mil- 
lions of miles a day, to which other centers the variation 
from the circle to the ellipse is supposed to be accounted 
for. When a fixed star will move, will all rest of local- 
ization in space be lost to us, and we could determine 
no center. Space has no center of rest for us, but what 
we can realize either physically or spiritually. The sun, 
as the cause of light, gives us the only center as to where 
we are in the realms of space. The sun is the constitu- 
tion of all we ever can know about heavenly bodies, and 
light in the realms of space is known where it appears 
to be; namely there, where motion centers from every 
direction to one point, and gives a sun. That is where 
matter, force, light and all heat comes to expression, 
and from the entrance or birth of a thing must we fol- 
low it upward. We do not and cannot study the genera- 
tion of a human being in the growth of a plant, but we 
must study it within the human self. Light, heat, force, 
and density of bodies we must study from the forces 
and realities or characteristics which constitute the sun. 
What is below the sun will be understood when we know 
the sun; but it would be wrong at the start, to answer 
what is the first cause, if we cannot guide a mind to the 
sun, our external father. At the sun are the contrasts 
resulting from the dense centering of the motion of Cre- 
ation. Within the bowels of motion are force and sub- 
stance. Endless motion first passes through the center, 
and then constitutes the circumference. The forces in 



Spiritual Astronomy. 163 

their centering attitude express fire which in itself 
holds all materiality contained within, and the sub- 
stances are nourishing fuel of the sun-fire. Nothing 
enters into a planetary realm, but what it has passed 
the incandescent state; nothing associates to a planet, 
but what passed the associative pressure state of the 
sun-center; and nothing helps to generate endless mo- 
tion in the planets, but what stands in polar contrast to 
the sun-center, pressed through and above it. All ma- 
terials are speed of eruptive dynamic pressure associ- 
ated, and motions are generated at the sun equal to the 
pressure held in rocks, iron, steel and other metals, 
which are germinating therefrom. All things bespeak 
the reality of Creation which produced them. Steel is 
motion of speed and pressure associated. Substance in 
steel is motion of powerful vehemence absorbed in the 
bowels of more vehement motion, in which it had to 
putrefy and lay the strata of substance. The uniting 
of the two into metal is the result of adjusting an exist- 
ing contrast as soon as conditions allow it; the same as 
the fall of a planet is an adjustment of existing con- 
trasts. God works from contrast to equalization, and 
from that angle must the spirit read the landscape of 
God's map. The flight of the planets and their speed 
are the logarithms of Creation, for with a single glance 
the spirit can see the result from contrast to adjustment. 
There is more meaning spoken by Creation in a plant- 
cell, than there is within the Planetary System, for 
while the latter is plain and simple, the first is complex 
and obscure. In the Solar System we find the contrast 
between substance, matter and force, while in the other 



164 Glimpses Into Nature. 

a comparative unification of the two is accomplished. 
Endless motion can be transmitted through particular 
channels only. Below the sun all is endless chaotic 
motion; at the sun it is united, centered and utilized to 
generate all necessary things of a higher evolution. The 
sun is kept endlessly aflame by vast streams of motion 
to nourish all Creation above. The seemingly wasting 
energy at the sun is in reality the support of everything 
needed to keep this complex organism of the sun in run- 
ning order. From an ending point, a center of motory 
digestion, there is eternity of time to absorb and con- 
stitute a vast circumferencing girdle; and from the 
forces which keep the sun aflame is absorbed all sub- 
stance, and in the run of time an associative clearing of 
substances is done, which take their exit into the realms 
of the great sun. Eternity of time, Plan of Creation, 
and control from within toward the without, is mani- 
fested upon one such globe of material association as 
we have been born on. Childishly we are gazing at the 
theater of life within and outside of us. So much have 
we been interested in human idiosyncrasies that we en- 
tirely forgot how vast a plan of Natural Wisdom it took 
to express our conscious motory activity. We look into 
space with material organs of perception, but never do 
we look with spirit, with out consciousness, to deter- 
mine how, and by what processes the mind comes into 
existence. We say one or the other planet cannot gen- 
erate life, for this or that reason, as we think that our 
mathematics are correct; but as long as the eye of the 
spirit does not pass a reality, and as long as we do not 
decipher with a clear consciousness the limit of Nature's 



Spiritual Astronomy. 165 

possibility, that long we will not be able to answer. 
Logically spoken, no one could answer, materially, bow 
flexible elastic gum is generated; only when mankind 
will read the meanings of matter, liquids, motions, 
forces and atmospheric qualities in one amalgamation, 
germinated by Nature, will we know what gum is. 
There are contrasts which are to be naturally adjusted. 
We find in our experience that consciousness, life and 
activity in man, is considered an absolute nothing, not 
worth to be studied ; while the body is something very 
real. Consciousness is the agent of motion of Creation ; 
the body is what gives us apparently the way to reali- 
ties. This contrast of an apparently constituted noth- 
ing, and a seemingly constituted something, must be 
adjusted. There are many who follow a material belief, 
and cannot conceive of such a thing as a nothing, but 
what does Nature care for how Ave frame words for a 
sentence ? Nature wants us to acknowledge realities as 
they are presented to us in God's Plan. The mind, that 
constituted nothing, is the great All of us; everything 
else must change in the ultimate. So must we look at 
all the laws in the planets. Not only the appearance, 
and study of materially constituted forces, but just the 
opposite is real. Forces and motions are real, while mat- 
ter is protected and operated by those forces. Within 
the forces is the Plan of Nature, and their materiality 
is only a characteristic of it. "Wisdom does not lie as 
bulky matter, and matter will not change to immaterial 
wisdom in order to open man's eyes. Everything must 
be studied in its sphere of presentation. We find the 
principle of planetary laws, a law of contrasts, worthy 



166 Glimpses Into Nature. 

for human consideration. The forces that attract the 
planets from the sun-center have to be clear, and must 
not at all be mixed with sun-gravitating realities; and 
until they draw the planet, can no higher growth be 
manifested. So it is in the human constitution — he who 
likes to do God's work (evolution of human character), 
Avill have to part entirely from human fashionable in- 
terests, and balance his mind in the Wisdom of Nature; 
and only when he is clear and powerful within that layer 
of conscious wisdom will he find that numbers of minds 
will follow him and come into an endless conscious mo- 
tory activity; which will be proof that he did fulfill 
God's commands; because it was God's Wisdom which 
guided him. (God the power that gave the mind of 
wisdom its direction.) In the conscious realm we had 
but few who could run on the outskirts of conscious life, 
and lay out the circle of conscious happiness and protec- 
tion. Human earth life is a wild conscious conglomera- 
tion until new powers will associate to its bulk, and enter 
into a layer of conscious heavenly happiness, after they 
have evolved from their previous state of mind. JNTot 
all minds are force and wisdom, for there are many that 
are but conscious substance and must become associated 
with the conscious wisdom (activity) of others. In 
God's great plan must we seek our orbit of life, and 
protect downward mankind as much as we can. The 
greatest of man is compelled to be the lowest servant, 
because he is not understood by the selfish mighty ones. 
The only protection for the just man is God, because as 
human selfish minds understand it, pure conscious jus- 
tice is silly and hurtful. 



OKBITS OF STAKS. 

The reality is first perceived with our physical senses, 
but life in general (the external) is pressing the human 
mind toward the conscious (the internal life), by realizing 
the following things not only in a purely objective way 
of investigation, but also subjectively. When the minds 
of olden times first turned their attention toward the 
subject of Astronomy, they did not have the power to 
follow everything to a mathematical detail of explana- 
tion, but a certain power of spiritual insight told them 
that the orbits of stars are circular. But as time went 
on and the mathematical powers of mankind came for- 
ward, human minds proved beyound a doubt that the 
orbits of stars, especially those nearest to us, vary very 
much from the perfect circle. So is there supposed to 
be a perihelion and an aphelion in the earth's orbit 
around the sun, and an oval or elliptical orbit of the 
moon around the earth, and as far as the moon's locality 
where we perceive her, and the mathematical instru- 
ments is concerned, this is correct. If light would exist 
positively without any aberrative subjectivity to all sub- 
stantial and elemental conditions, taking place between 
the sun as the cause of light, and the earth as its receiver 
and expression, we would know beyond a doubt the ellip- 
tical orbits as they are taught, to be correct in Nature. 
That we are looking through a sphere of elements break- 
ing the rays of light equally as much as water is break- 

167 



168 Glimpses Into Nature. 

ing the clearer light of the atmosphere seems to be over- 
looked. It should be known that our daylight is a spe- 
cial evolution between the forces from the sun, and the 
earth's revolving motion which generate elements giv- 
ing, the illuminative energy. The equatorial circle, or 
that zone around the earth where the greatest friction 
occurs, will hold the most light-giving elements; earthly 
and the heavens overhead will at all times appear in due 
relation to the equator of our earth, and the position 
the sun takes to the equatorial region. If the poles 
would not deviate once a year equal to 23.5°, no change 
of the external world would come to our perception, but 
as it is, the poles of the earth will change from 23.5° 
south to 23.5° north, and exactly so does Nature demon- 
strate to us the refractory subjectivity of light in the 
atmospheric and equatorial layers of the earth, namely, 
the moon will appear to pass the equatorial line of the 
earth southward, as the sun stands in a position from 
the earth's equatorial northward. We know that a 
straight stick held part way into water will show a 
broken j>lace at the point where the water and atmos- 
phere meet, which proves the subjectivity of light and 
its material elements. The break will be equal to nearly 
16 to 20 degrees, and remain a fact regardless of eye 
or telescope. If any object is seen under water and we 
are to judge its correct position we must estimate it 
with due regard of the principle of the aberration of 
light. Just so is there in the position of the moon or 
sun an adjustment of the principle of aberration. The 
moon, in reality, has her orbit in the equinoctial or celes- 
tial equator, there, where the earth's rotary motion is 



Orbits of Stars. 169 

the most powerful. The position of the moon will ap- 
parently change in exactly the same manner from the 
equator northward or southward, as the line of the stick 
in the water. The deviation of the earth's axis will be 
equal to throw the moon in a light angle, of about 5 to 6 
degrees, out of the equinoctial line. And the further 
north the sun sends his rays horizontally upon the earth, 
the further south does the moon appear to have her 
orbit. The law of light will answer why the moon ap- 
pears to have an elliptic orbit varying 5 to 6 degrees 
from the perfect circle. The whole heaven appears dif- 
ferently in summer than in winter, and with due regard 
to the sun's, or earth's position in the equator, must the 
run of planets and satellites be studied. That the earth 
has an orbit of 23° toward the elliptic is a result of 
appearance, and is caused by the third motion of the 
earth — the deviation of 23° turning north, or the other 
part of the globe toward the sun. 

The true distance of the moon can be determined 
only, when the moon is not subject to the aberrative in- 
fluence of light, and the angle in which the light of the 
sun must pass through the circumferential force of the 
planet before it reaches the moon, causes the same to 
appear farther or nearer to the Earth than it really is, 
and only when the moon is in the direct focus of the 
sun, so, that the rays of the sun reach the moon through 
the circumferential force of the planet without being 
broken, can the true distance of the moon be deter- 
mined. 

The fact, that planets and their satellites appear to 
run in elliptic orbits of ever-varying distances around 
the sun, must be accounted for by the position of the 



170 Glimpses Into Nature. 

sun from which light serves to uncover physical objects; 
for as there is caused an aberration of Light by the ele- 
ment, held within the planet's circumferencing force 
(known as atmosphere or ether), similar to that caused 
by water or glass, or whatever else we might study in 
the line of an optical aberration, so is there naturally re- 
quested of the mind, a consideration of the elemental 
effects on light to determine the correct position, or 
proper place of things, in contrast to that, where they 
appear to be. 

Mature demonstrates to us especially in this branch 
of investigation, that we cannot trust our senses where 
the limit of Nature's possibility must be uncovered by 
our consciousness. If the investigator, from a certain 
angle of view perceives two wheels in motion, and they 
appear in an elliptical form by the position they hold 
toward him, he will not for a moment suppose that they 
are really elliptic, for he will know that they are per-« 
fectly circular, before they would serve the force-pro- 
ductive purpose in a uniform way of realities. So is the 
limit of Nature's possibility, a more superior guide into 
the facts of Mature, than the physical eye could ever 
be, and the very purpose of life will prove to be, to con- 
sciously represent that within ourselves, which is in ex- 
istence without, and when we can grasp the external, 
then the different realities lie bare, which influence and 
express the outer world to our senses. A sense will 
never be more, than an organ for the protection of our 
material body, and what regards the realities of Crea- 
tion, for that we have to appeal to our higher inner 
spiritual powers, within which we have to germinate and 
grow. 



THE PLANETS, THE TIDES, AND THE SPEEDS 
OF SATELLITES. 

After reading over our tables, and finding a proba- 
bility in our planetary Cosmogony, the skeptic may still 
doubt the natural truth of it, as the time of speed given 
in the tables does not correspond with the time express- 
ing a full day on Earth at present. One complete revo- 
lution of the Earth around her own center signifies one 
day, the length or time of which will always depend on 
the speed of the axis-motion, which originally varied 
considerably from that of the present one. What is the 
cause of this difference? 

To understand the real modus operandi of Nature in 
the formation of planets, a mind must study the direc- 
tions of speed and can then see the point of causation. 
If we take the vehemences of the different directions of 
speed amalgamated into a whole, and analyze the sepa- 
rate branches therefrom, we will see that the speed of 
the moon, and the tides of the water, and the axis- 
motion of the Earth, are parts of one whole, and that 
their combination and rotary influence on the whole (the 
moon, the tides, and the Earth) must be determined so 
as to be known. These three motions move in the same 
direction, and prove by that their oneness, and common 
source of origin. It is within the very nature of things, 
that the vehemence of motion will increase or decrease 

171 



172 Glimpses Into Nature. 

by giving off speed, or throwing out ballast into its im- 
mediate surrounding space. 

The formation of satellites on planets is simply a 
liberation of materials to increase the rotary axis-speed 
at the center; and the generation of water is an invest- 
ment of the axis-speed into a motion transmittive ele- 
ment which naturally acts as an agent for the transmu- 
tation of motion into rigid solids. 

If the speed of Venus were counted as 100%, and 
the water on that planet in order to be kept alive, should 
require 35%, then the axis-motion of Venus would no 
longer be carried on 100, but by only 65% which Na- 
ture actually demonstrates. The speed of Venus re- 
quired originally 11.53 hours to turn that planet once 
around its axis, but was lowered to 23.5 h. as soon as 
the tides of the water were gradually evolved as a liquid 
motion, which is kept up by the original speed of the 
p.xis-motion. 

The axis-rotation of a planet must be understood prop- 
erly, before we can grasp the problem in view. If the 
gravitary center were to exist without matter, hindering 
motion, the time of revolution would be equal to naught 
or 0. 

The time required to turn the Earth's solid matter, 
under the influence of the innate vehemence, is 11.60 
hours, and the time required to keep the tides of the 
water in activity, under this same vehemence, is equal 
to the lessening of the speed of the axis-motion from 
11.60 h. to 24 h., or a hindrance to the speed, reducing 
its power to less than half, or by 12.39 h. This speed, 
apparently lost, when the rotation of the Earth was re- 



Planets, the Tides, and Speeds of Satellites. 173 

duced from 11.6 h. to a slower motion, giving tis the 
present day of 24 h., was naturally invested in the pro- 
duction of the element of water, and to this day still 
keeps up the activity of the tides. The movement of 
the tides, and the time from high-tide to high-tide, 
serves as a natural indicator of the force of resistance 
water offers to the speed of rotation of the planet, and 
it is mathematically calculable how much resistance 
water offers to the speed of the axis-motion and how 
long the tides are upon every planet. 



FACTS OF INTEREST IN THE EARTH'S ROTA- 
TION, AXIS, AND RELATIVE SPEEDS 
OF PLANETS. 

If the pure center of gravity were to turn, as a point, 
on an imaginary axis, the time of rotation would be 
equal to naught; or given on a mathematical basis, the 
center in itself without the resistance of matter = 0. 

Before the evolution or formation of our moon the 
Earth required 11/-. 7 3 hours of time for one full turn 
around her axis. 

In the evolution or formation of our moon (liberating 
of material ballast) the Earth gradually increased her 
velocity of rotation, until, when the moon had fully 
formed, the time for one revolution had decreased to 
11.6 h. 

Then the, evolution of water began and, when the activ- 
ity of the tides had fidly developed, the velocity of the 
axis-rotation of the Earth had decreased so much, as to 
increase the time for one revolution to a 21+-h. day. 

Here let the reader well understand, that the innate 
speed of the axis of the Earth is now still the same as 
before water had evolved; namely: equal to one revo- 
lution per every 11.6 h. of time; only, the activity of 
the tides of the water, but an apparently reciprocal 
^notion, resists the innate speed to the extent of decreas- 
ing the rate of the velocity of rotation of the material 
bulk to a 24-h. day. 

174 



The Earth's Rotation. 175 

Every average distance of SJf.1.53 miles from the 
Earth's center outward expresses a decrease of motion 
around the center, or an increase of motion from the orbit 
of the moon inward, equal to 1 h. of time as the case 
may be. 

The same innate speed, which holds the Earth in rota- 
tion, does likewisely keep the moon, under its influence, 
in a 710.85-h. journey around the Earth; and the 
velocity of both is found by dividing the radius of the 
Earth's circumference, as well as the distance to the 
moon, into spaces of 341.53 mi. each and, as many as 
there are such spaces in one or the other distance, that 
many h. of time it takes for one revolution around the 
axis, or a flight around the center, or giving the innate 
speed of the planet without the resistance of the activity 
of the tides. 

The same process bears natural analogy to all other 
planets. 

All speeds are inherent as an endless capital in plan- 
ets, and cannot be lost. 

Matter is a hindering agent for speed, and the more 
matter there is with the center, or the more dense it is, the 
slower is the revolving motion. 

The rotary axis-speed of a planet is positively influ- 
enced by the center of gravity and the matter connected 
with it; and the planet's circumferencing force must 
withstand the influence of the speed encircling and carry- 
ing the planets around the sun, but if this center of grav- 
ity be composed of more matter than the rotary speed 
around the axis can carry to express water, then, in the 
course of time, will the planet's circumferencing forces 



176 Glimpses Into Nature. 

become attractive agents for this superfluous matter, lib- 
erate it into the equatorial region of the planet-body, and 
afterward associate it into spheres. 

Thus we see that the circumferencing force of the 
planet is the controlling power, and in conjunction with 
the gravitary force keeps the evolution of water within 
its functions, for speeds and matter amalgamated and 
balanced to a point of equity, will within Nature's free 
planetary realms express water. The rotary axis-speed 
of a planet is the real germ of water. 

The radius of the Earth, and the uniform decrease of 
the power of gravity from the center, equalize at the sur- 
face to the "innate speed" 

The following example will serve as an illustration : 

The original rotary speed of the Earth was equal to 
14.73 h. of time; how can we find what increase of 
speed the Earth received after the matter of the moon 
was freed from the direct influence of gravity? The 
speed within the moon must answer what speed there 
was within the Earth which gave the moon its impulse ! 
If the moon were under the direct influence of the force 
of gravity, its speed around the Earth would equal 24 h. 
of time, but as it is not under direct influence, the time 
for its journey around it is 29 days and approximately 
15 h. or 710.85 h. in all. 

The distance from the center of the Earth to the orbit 
of the moon is about 242,612 mi., and that divided by 
710.85, gives the average number of miles necessary to 
give 1 h. increase or decrease to or from the time re- 
quired for one revolution around the axis, according to 
whether the distance is to or from the center 341.53 m. 



The Earth's Rotation. 177 

The radius of the Earth, 3,962.5 mi., divided by 
341.53 = 11.60, the number of hours of the innate 
speed. This is the approximate figure represented in 
the negative part of the present day, counting from one 
high-tide to a full day. In reality Nature expresses the 
time of the rotary speed of the Earth, before water was 
evolved, in the present laws of the tides, for they, and 
the time needed to express them, are a demonstration 
how much revolving force was invested in the element 
of water, and the time from one high-tide to a full day 
is testimony of the innate speed giving the impulse to 
the moon. 

The satellites of Jupiter may serve in themselves as 
a demonstration of the cause of their speeds. The four 
moons of that planet received their impulse of speed 
at different conditions of the mother-body. The first 
and outermost one, received its impulse when the axis- 
speed of Jupiter had increased to 16.884 h. for one revo- 
lution; the second one, when Jupiter had 10.5025 h. 
of rotation; the third one, when he had 8.16 h. per one 
rotation; and the fourth, or nearest one to the center, 
separated from Jupiter when that planet had an axis- 
speed of 6.004 h. for one revolution. This last speed, 
sufficient to evolve water, is also the innate speed of 
Jupiter; and the gradual lowering of this, just now 
being carried on by the production of w T ater, manifests 
at the present time a resistance equal to 3.9 h. increase 
of time, and will eventually increase to approximately 
24 h. per every revolution of that planet, as is the case 
with those further progressed in their evolution. 

In this problem we find that all moons part in one 

12 



178 Glimpses Into Nature. 

great period of time from their respective planets, be- 
cause the speed of Jupiter increased from 331.2 h. of 
axis-rotation before, to 16.88 h. after the first moon 
received its impulse of speed, and in one continual in- 
crease of speed the moons have first formed rings, from 
which they associated into spheres, and in which con- 
dition they separated from the tie, connecting them to 
the center-body, and were imparted with the impulse of 
their motions. 

In the planet Saturn we can find another illustration 
of the method by which Mature develops moons, and 
how their general impulse of speed comes from the plan- 
etary increase of axis-motion during the period of their 
formation. This planet has now, according to discov- 
eries, eight moons, and the two rings which are moons 
in embryo state, when fully developed into spheres, will 
give him ten moons in all. When these two rings will 
have fully associated, and have separated from the 
main body, the evolution of water on this most compli- 
cated planet can begin. In the tables below, we will 
give the time of speed of the eight moons in their jour- 
ney around Saturn, as well as their distance, in the num- 
ber of times the radius of Saturn is contained in the 
space of their remoteness, and the time for one revolu- 
tion of the planet itself, around its own axis, after each 
moon did detach from the tie connecting it to that body. 
The figures to the extreme right of the tables are to 
indicate, that every average distance of such number of 
miles from the center of the planet Saturn outward, 
expresses a decrease of motion around the center, or 
from the orbit of one of the moons inward, an increase 



The Earth's Eolation. 179 

of motion equal to one minute of time, according to the 
moon in question; and as many as there are such num- 
ber of miles contained in the distance of one moon or 
the other, from the center of the planet, so many 
minutes of time a moon will require for its journey 
around it.

If the number of miles for Neptune's diameter is cor- 
rect, Neptune should have at least as many moons as 
Uranus or Jupiter, because, to judge from the speed of 
the only discovered moon, the axis-rotation of that 
planet would have increased from the originally ac- 

180 



Tables of Satellites. 181 

cumulated speed of 468.19 hours to the tremendous 
velocity of only 11.7 h., which, reasoning with compari- 
son to those planets, would have resulted only after lib- 
erating at least as many moons as they. 

The liberation of matter from a planet, to the forma- 
tion of a moon, takes place in the equatorial region, as 
before explained, in the manner of rings, which keep 
in contact with the center-body, and revolve with it, in 
an equal time around the common axis. In reality, does 
the axis-motion of the planet retain an influence over all 
matter liberated, for as long as it keeps in direct contact 
with the center; and the vehemence, which carries the 
planet in a given time around its axis, is hindered by 
exactly so much time, as the rings offer in resistance 
to the planet's revolution. 

Every moon is carried as a dead body (dead, only in 
the limit of Xature's possibility) by the gravitary influ- 
ence at the moon's distance, held in the circumferential 
force of the planet. 

With the formation of moons, there is manifested an 
association of matter for the circumference, and an asso- 
ciation of vehemence for the center. 

The formation of a moon from a ring into a sphere 
increases the axis-motion of a planet, by exactly so much 
velocity, as the moon loses in disconnecting from the 
direct central axis influence. 

The present axis-revolution of the planet Saturn 
proves that the rings, as material matter, and in direct 
connection with it, lessen its vehemence by about 50% 
than there would be without the rings, and, according 
to the speed which gave the impulse to the last moon, 



182 Glimpses Into Nature. 

increases its time of revolution to about 100% with the 
rings. The speed of the planet around its own axis, at 
the time the last moon was liberated, we give in the 
tables as 5.187 h. Let the reader, however, well under- 
stand, that this is not its real or apparent motion, for 
since the planet still bears two rings, its motion is hin- 
dered to that of the present speed, 10.5 h. This is the 
50% loss of vehemence spoken of in the previous sen- 
tence. The outer ring of Saturn, when centering to a 
sphere, and parting from the direct influence of the 
planet, will suffer a decrease of motion from 10.5 h. to 
16 h., and will thus increase the speed at the center to 
4.7 h., while the apparent or actual speed, with the still 
remaining or last ring, will really be about 9 h. ; and only 
after this last remaining ring will have departed with 
a speed of 13 h. about the center, will the planet reach 
its last and final subsequent speed of 4.2 h.; this will be 
the planet's greatest velocity, and the therefrom result- 
ing generation of water, will then gradually again de- 
crease, with its resistance, the planet's axis-motion, until 
it finally will have, like most of the other planets, a 
24-h. day. 

The further from the center of gravity, the less influ- 
ence does matter have on the rotary axis-motion of a 
planet. We find that the matter of the moon influences 
the rotary axis-motion of the Earth by 60 times less at 
its distance, than if it were carried directly around the 
surface of that body; in reality it is carried by the cir- 
cumferencing force of the planet, which attracted it to 
where it is. While a planet in the disconnection of a 



Tables of Satellites. 183 

moon loses its rotary influence on that matter, it will 
gain in speed around the axis of itself. 

The centering forces, constituting the gravitary cen- 
ter, and the circle which gives the circumferencing 
power equal to the force of gravity, are the very forces 
that control a planet; and within them is hidden also 
the plan of Nature, which is, to adjust the speed upon 
every planet so, that water can be evolved. 

Then the law of contrast; works by the process of 
evolution a motion, grinding solids against an endless 
motion of liquids, which is under the adjustive law of 
quiescency and activity. 

The more moons a planet carries, the more ballast 
was liberated to give more speed to the center. 

There are planets with from 300 to 468 h. of original 
axis-motion, which by the liberation of ballast did 
quicken prodigiously. 

Creation operates in every line for a practical end; 
and only within the limit of natural possibility! The 
very laws of Wisdom necessitate but limited ways of 
evolution in order to show us, that in the finite, run all 
things for an eternal purpose. 

It is in the plan of Nature that every planet evolve 
water, which can come about only by sufficient axis- 
speed that can overpolarize the force which constitutes 
solids. It is this overpolarization of the constituting 
force that brings about the newly expressed reality of 
water. The larger a planet is, the more associative 
power underlies its structure, and with so much more 
velocity of axis-motion does this power have to be over- 
balanced to evolve water. 



184 Glimpses Into Nature. 

Creation holds the plan for the evolution of as many 
planets, as the matter and forces constituting the con- 
stellation of the heavens, do allow; and from the per- 
ception of this premise, must the true student of real 
eminent astronomical facts, seek his instruction. Until 
now, but chaos and disorder seemed to have reigned in 
the up-to-date knowledge about heavenly bodies; but, 
when minds will study the Solar System within the limit 
of natural possibility, then they will know, that a per- 
fect and minute Wisdom operates within and through- 
out all planets, as well as within everything above them ! 



WATER; ITS CAUSE AND UTILITY IN 
NATURE. 

The germ force which generates water is the revolv- 
ing speed of a planet, and the very vehemence of power 
enters into its formation. Every material body, in the 
layers of the sun's circumference, did in its liberation 
from the sun-center evolve rotary speed, and every such 
body will eventually evolve water. The generation of 
water is naturally accomplished, when the force, which 
holds and associates the materials is overbalanced, or 
overpolarized by rotary speed, which enters into the 
new element of water. Whilst the solid material earth 
is a perfect polar hindrance to light (which is the im- 
material part of the sun), and motion (which is evolved 
in the planet's fall, and is mathematical endlessly inher- 
ent in the planet), this new evolved element, water, 
shows a transmittive quality for light as well as motion, 
although as far as its physical condition is concerned, 
it is a solid material too. Therefore, we know, that 
water is generated as a local element on the planets, 
and its materialization is carried on in a realm through 
where sunlight passes freely and demonstrates its influ- 
ence. This element of water is the life-part of rigid 
materials, and in the economy of Nature it has to trans- 
mit endless activity or motion to the material surface 
of the planets. All the planets, when their natural office 
of generating life and higher realities is evolved, by

the laws of adjustment are brought to about 24 hours 
axis-motion, yet some slight change is caused by the 
predominance of speed of motion or materials and their 
influence on the planet. Only the inner four planets 
can serve as a guide to the proof of this proposition ; as 
those beyond Mars have not yet evolved much further 
than the generation of moons, as is seen for example in 
Saturn where the moons are still forming, and in the 
other planets where the time of speed around the axis 
is a demonstration to us, that the element of water is 
not yet fully developed. The inner four planets, Mars, 
Earth, Venus and Mercury, are in about an equal stage 
of evolution, although the Earth is a little behind the 
other three, for the fact, that she had to generate a sat- 
ellite, tells us that she is the latest of the four. These 
four planets have about an equal speed, with the excep- 
tion of Venus, which by reason of having had but 
scarcely enough rotary speed, could not generate quite 
enough power to enter into water. Mercury, having 
originally had 3.507 hours of axis-speed, generated suffi- 
cient water to give a 24-hour day, but this water moves 
slowly on Mercury, as it takes about 20.5 hours there to 
express the tides. Venus, having less water, develops 
tides of only 11.9 hours 7 duration. We find, that the 
activity of the tides are carried on only in the limit of 
the expenditure of revolving speed invested by a planet 
for the generation of water. Nature will under all con- 
ditions leave her guiding marks, so we may spiritually 
determine what was, and, rudimentally, still is within 
the planet. The originally underlying rotary speed of 
the Earth, before water had been evolved, is rudimen-

tarily contained in the difference of time, from the tides 
to a full day; equal to 11 hours 35 min., whilst the 
Earth has invested 12 hours 21 min. of axis-speed in the 
generation of water, naturally demonstrated in the 
tides. The tides move by exactly as much speed, as the 
water has caused the Earth's axis-revolution to* decrease. 
By this we can determine the activity of the tides on 
every planet. Mercury invested about 20.5 hours into 
the generation of water, and equal to that are the tides 
there every day. Yenus invested about 11.9 hours axis- 
speed into the generation of water, and equal to that 
length of time are the tides on Yenus from its full day. 
The Earth invested about 12 hours 21 min. of axis-speed 
into the generation of water, and this we know from the 
laws of the tides on our own globe. Mars did invest 
about 13.3 hours axis-speed into water, whilst 11.27 
hours was the original speed. The tides are a demon- 
stration of the very near relationship of the element of 
water, to the speed which carries that planet around its 
own axis; because the water forms an adjustive eleva- 
tion and depression in its element, which is in accord 
with the influence, the revolving speed has on the nega- 
tive tendency of water to matter in a quiescent state. 
Water lies in a layer of activity controlled by the cir- 
cumferencing force of the Earth, and, therefore, con- 
tains the evolutionary, or germ conditions of superior 
realities. In their relative order, Mercury has more 
water than the Earth, and Yenus less water than Mars. 
This seeming contrast is adjusted perfectly by the activ- 
ity of water, as it is this, which evolves and purifies; 
and so it will also be found that Yenus, with less water

but greater activity, will convert, comparatively, equally 
as much matter into minerals and cells, as Mercury with 
his immense amount of water but less activity therein. 

The whole Solar System is one chamber of Creation, 
in which the eternity of time evolves realities from the 
finite plane into the infinite realm! 

The evolution of the four satellites of Jupiter tells 
us, that their generation was carried on all in one period 
of time, during which the speed of the planet around 
its axis was increased from 331.2 hours to only 17, when 
the first satellite received the steady impulse of its mo- 
tion around the planet. This tells us, that nearly all 
substances which form the moons had been attracted 
into the circumferencing realm of Jupiter before the 
first moon had formed, or before the furthest from the 
center had begun its motion around the center-body. 
The speed of the satellites around their own axes is 
proof, that they are not leaving the planet in a spheroid- 
ally associated form, as the planet leaves the sun, but, 
that the material particles that go to associate a moon, 
are ascending, and gather in the equatorial regions, by 
reason of the planet's revolving greatest resulting fric- 
tion there ; and are forming a ring, which has its forma- 
tive limit in the circle in which the planet's deviation on 
her axis is carried on and which eventually will associate 
to one material sphere, a satellite, keeping always equal 
speed with the planet's revolving force, only the further 
from the center, with the weaker an impulse. 

Time is but one reality and has equal influence on all 
planets. 

Planet after planet was evolved at the sun-center and

took its eternal leave, comparatively as a child at its 
birth is liberated from the mother-body never to return 
again, and that in the order of their distance from the 
sun, the furthest one first and the nearest one last. 

There are some seeming irregularities in our lesson, 
for instance, the Asteroids and their cause; but when 
we follow the laws of unity and take the necessary 
change in the evolution of the larger and smaller planets 
into consideration, we find that the asteroids are mate- 
rial which by reason of different affinity did not prop- 
erly associate to one main body of a planet, and did 
irregularly part from the sun-center and could therefore 
never unite to one single body as a distinct planet; all 
materials in the asteroids were attracted outward from 
their respective place in the sun which therefore gives 
more or less a tendency to a sun-polar circle, while the 
planets in their flight move in a sun-equatorial circle. 
This difference causes the Asteroids to appear to move 
in a much more elliptic orbit, which elliptic run is 
thought to be even in the planets more or less the case. 
When we look upon the liberation of the planets from 
the sun-center, to occur as in but one single period of 
time of the sun's growth, then we will know that those 
planets which have the least great changes to sustain, 
will by the law of Xature, be the first ones to have fully 
evolved. 

The infinitude of time faces us eternally, and for the 
evolution of planets in a solar system, there is a so many 
more millionf old of time of growth laid out, than there 
is for the body of a little one-day Butterfly, compared 
to the bulk of all the Solar System. 



190 Glimpses Into Nature. 

So also when we study the growth of a tree, and that 
of a flower there are layers of time necessary for both, 
and if the seeds of both are planted at one time, the 
flower will be ripe and in blossom, before the tree will 
even have germinated. 

So were the planets planted at a single sowing of 
Creation, but some of them in their state of develop- 
ment are needing greater layers of time to evolve, than 
others. That the planet first inhabited in our Solar 
System was Mercury is a fact; then followed Mars, then 
Venus, and the Earth at last. This may be found in the 
very time they needed to their constitutional develop- 
ment. The millions of years that have passed since the 
evolution of life upon Earth, until consciousness could 
start to reason, has developed the moons on Jupiter, 
and given him a development of water equal to about 
3 hours' decrease of axis-speed. Saturn has not yet 
developed the last two moons, therefore, do we see those 
rings around him, which are satellites in the embryo 
state. If we had centuries of scientific experience, we 
would know that the speed of Jupiter around himself 
slowly decreases, and will decrease in time to come, to 
even or nearly so, to that of the smaller planets, about 
24 hours of axis-speed. In the process of Creation, the 
rings of Saturn eventually will form two moons, after 
which, the speed of that planet will increase to about 
4.5 to 4.1 hours for one revolution around its axis, and 
from thence Saturn will commence the evolution of 
water. Saturn among the larger planets holds a similar 
position to Earth among the smaller ones, and ten satel- 
lites will be his attendants. The very fact that eight

moons are developed upon the planet, possessing the 
greatest number of satellites, tells us, that Jupiter, with 
only four or six moons, has had some time for the gen- 
eration of water, which has lowered the speed of Jupiter 
around his axis, from the greatest down to the present 
rate, of about 10 hours per revolution. So did Uranus 
evolve four moons, and his greatest axis-rotation, equal 
to 7.6 hours, gradually evolved water, which slowly de- 
creased the original speed to its present rate of only 9 
hours and 3 min. Water absorbs the revolving speed 
of the planets, and it is in the plan of Nature, that about 
half of its speed revolving the planet around its axis, 
enters into the element of water. 

Speed is the germ-motion or life, and matter is all 
the time only the negative pole of the powers necessary 
to constitute and express it in that condition of evolu- 
tion. |, j .: J jjl^.j 

Motions of Creation branch into three distinct kinds : 
first, positive endless motion; second, passive evolved 
motion associated as force; and third, matter as the 
negative reality therefrom. Activity, is at all times the 
guiding reality ; force, the forming or shaping one ; and 
matter, the one being formed. 

Invisible activities will forever be the fundament 
from whence things shape. 

Motion or activity always did, and does still, associate 
first to a center. 

Motion associated to a girdle, to express a circumfer- 
ence or protection to the center, is the evolved reality, 
or second step. 

Matter, is the result of the amalgamation of the first 



192 Glimpses Into Nature. 

and second reality, to express them in a body or bodies, 
and is all the time the third, and last process in the order 
of Nature. So has motion first overpassed the center, 
and eventually attracted matter in the limit of Nature's 
possibility. 

Every body in the Solar System, existing without 
water, is dead seed and tributary to bodies, having the 
water-giving powers contained within them; whilst 
solid rock, is motion of a negative character associated 
to a center, brought to standstill, and materialized by 
the evolved force of circumference and protection. 
Water, is matter made alive, or matter brought in con- 
junction with elements transmitting light and motion, 
or other realities of a higher character. 

From this fundament onward the plan of Nature 
branches into many new T productions, but for the study 
of heavenly bodies this will be sufficient. 

The unity of God's plan is perceived by everybody, 
who reasons from the cause onward; but material chaos 
is appearing all the time, as an attractive agent for the 
undeveloped human mind, in order that individual con- 
sciousness may be strengthened to master such a vast 
and essential subject. The eye will never see what the 
spirit can perceive; and even the constitution of a tree 
by Nature, and the how and why thereof, done directly 
before our view, we cannot understand before the spirit 
has conscious powers equal to perceive active realities 
of Creation. So it is with telescopes and what they un- 
cover to our view; they show us a picture, differing as 
much from the reality, as the focus of the telescope is 
made to change, by concave and convex lenses. I would 



Water; Its Cause and Utility in Nature. 193 

a hundred times rather trust the eye of the spirit, real- 
izing things by perceiving the limit of Nature's possi- 
bilities, than an ever-changing view of the physical eye, 
without first fully mastering the subject in the spirit. 
Since light is the result of force, it will never pass and 
uncover endless motion, but only matter it will uncover, 
and the very fact, that a thing is matter, tells us, that 
it is composed of putrefied creative motion. As things 
stand, so are they a question put to our consciousness; 
and whether in man or outside of him, the contrast of 
realities will remain. (The immaterial activities, and 
the appearance of matter, substance or body.) 

Can you, Oh reader, straighten up, in order to see 
spiritually, as soon as you live for your life, instead of 
for your body? TTe see what Xature does in the plan- 
ets, — throw out material ballast to acquire activity! 
Do you know what that means? Can the astronomer 
not read God's signs? Or must a man ignorant in sci- 
ence, step out and give his spiritual life's power for such 
a subject, and stand the ground of persecution and con- 
tempt, simply because the scientific words of expression 
are wanting, and must in plain English uncover God's 
Intention in the planets to those, who have time for the 
spirit, and do not live confined to material fashion and 
show ? "Will you try to live for activity, for the con- 
scious activity within yourself, as Xature accumulates 
activity in the planets ? We will wait, and see ! There 
is one great law of Justice underlying all material 
formations, and all things undergo a shaping process, 
giving us the knowledge, that in the face of all the seem- 
ing inequities, there is equity or Justice of the most

precise character. As chaos-like and material the Solar 
System may appear to men with scientific instruments, 
so exactly pulsating in one law of adjustment, are all 
the planets and conditions thereon controlled. As far 
as we can ascertain there is no clock working so harmo- 
niously under the gravitary controlled pendulum as the 
Solar System, and one must guide and control the other. 
Matter is never the controlling chain; but motion and 
whatever transmits motion, is the reality we must keep 
in view. Water keeps the day or axis-rotation time 
upon the planets, as the pulse of our heart is the con- 
trolling power of our life. There are individual tem- 
peraments in individual thinkers, and so there are indi- 
vidual speeds and influences of water upon the planets. 
But everywhere there is a point of equity which bal- 
ances the contrast. We are living in a great world, and 
only individual and certain parts thereof can we recog- 
nize. Upon a bit of earth we are growing in a body to 
germinate our spirit. Every one of us attends a differ- 
ent class and learns different lessons in the school of 
life. We have been given the task to study the archi- 
tectural plan of Creation, and humbly do we stand be- 
fore our spiritual teachers presenting our lessons to 
their kind inspection. Having been deprived of the' 
earthly knowledge of science by life conditions, Ave 
were compelled by spiritual request to enter into the 
investigation of the All. Many points of this knowl- 
edge will be blurred to an earthly materialistic mind; 
and the connecting chain, between the scientific knowl- 
edge and investigation, and Nature's reality, her appear- 
ance, and our way of explaining it, will be hard to inter-

pret and to understand some of her links. Great ques- 
tions lie before man, and one question is as to how the 
things in God's plan or by Nature came into the to-be ! 
Time is; space is; motion is; the results from the con- 
trast between activity and quiescency, or evolution is; 
Love or association is; Wisdom, or limit of natural 
possibility ; and Justice, or tendency to equalization and 
adjustment is. These principal realities are the funda- 
ment from where the spirit can determine the things 
that are. Our reader may say how can a spirit answer 
how, or in what condition, a planet is, if he has no ave- 
nue to demonstrate it to us? This is not correct; Nature 
demonstrates in and with the very things that are in 
existence, and we must be satisfied with the way that 
Nature presents them to us. So it is in the modus oper- 
andi of the Solar System! Here before our view it is; 
how much can you, Oh man, decipher? To assume 
something can be done by a child; but every reality 
perceived gives all the time also the avenue of deter- 
mining or verifying its way into existence. If scien- 
tists or theologians assume to have the truth, then they 
will have to give a better or more solidly based Cos- 
mogony than the one they have, and must be able to 
explain with more accuracy cause and effect, just as 
we are trying to do; although we too are subject to 
error, and are only students in the spiritual class of 
realities. 



The Fundament of All Teaching deals in the ex- 
planation of Natural Wisdom; 

The Axioms which control the perception of it by 
our entity. 

The requests which Nature's Wisdom principally 
holds to conscious entities, and the utilities of Real Re- 
ligion in general. 

Human reason of a real character, will be compelled 
to accept the fact that, naturally the definition of re- 
ligion is the instruction how to grow consciousness or 
the ego, and how to meet responsibilities held to man 
by God of Nature in an eternal aspect of life. 

The evolution of real religion in the human mind will 
result in the perception of the modus operandi in crea- 
tion. 

Mankind is not lacking in the understanding of the 
Golden Rule, but he is lacking in the understanding as 
to why he should live it. 

Is science as laid out by man, to limit creation, or is 
creation from center to circumference, from the simple 
to the complex, to be perceived and realized by man's 
mind as the growth of mind goes on? 

The lessons which make us acquainted with natural 
eternal responsibilities include self-evidently our future 
condition, and the knowledge of destining the same by 
our life actions here.

tions will be cheerfully furnished by The Natural
